About the author

Prof. Dr. André Thess arbeitet als Professor für Thermodynamik und Magnetofluiddynamik an der Technischen Universität Ilmenau. Forschungsaufenthalte und Gastprofessuren führten ihn unter anderem an die Universitäten Princeton, Stanford, Michigan (USA), ENS Lyon, Ecole Polytechnique (Frankreich), Nagoya (Japan) und Shenyang (China). Seine Forschungsinteressen reichen von der elektromagnetischen Strömungsmessung in flüssigem Stahl bis zur Turbulenzforschung am weltgrößten Rayleigh-Bénard-Experiment ,,Ilmenauer Fass", welches unter seiner Leitung erbaut wurde.
