Dr. Scholz is a senior engineer and senior scientist at the Institute of Fluid Mechanics. He completed his studies in mechanical engineering with a focus on aerospace engineering at the Technical University of Braunschweig. During this time, he was already involved in the Akaflieg Braunschweig and devoted himself intensively to aviation-specific and aerodynamic issues.
He then began his doctorate at the TU Braunschweig, where he specialized in the active control of flow separation using fluidic vortex generators. After successfully completing his doctorate in 2009, he took up the position of the engineer-in-chief at the Institute of Fluid Mechanics and simultaneously took over the management of a scientific working group.
As the engineer-in-chief, he played a leading role in the planning of the large water tunnel and was instrumental in the planning, modification and further development of all of the institute's experimental facilities. His scientific research focuses on aerodynamics and the active control of flows. He uses both experimental methods and numerical simulations.
