Dr. Jörg Schumacher is Professor for Fluid Mechanics at the Technical University of Ilmenau (TU Ilmenau) in Ilmenau, Germany. Prof. Schumacher specializes in numerical simulations of complex fluid flows, with particular emphases on thermal convection, magnetohydrodynamics, Marangoni convection, and turbulence. Prof. Schumacher received his PhD in Theoretical Physics from the Astrophysical Institute in Potsdam, was a Postdoctoral fellow at Philipps University Marburg, a Feodor-Lynen Fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation at Yale University, and a Research Associate at Philipps University Marburg. In 2005, Prof. Schumacher joined TU Ilmenau as Assistant Professor for Theoretical Fluid Mechanics. In 2008, Prof. Schumacher received the Heisenberg Research Professorship, and he became Professor for Fluid Mechanics at TU Ilmenau in 2013.
