Florian is a PhD researcher under the supervision of André Bauknecht and specializes in the fields of numerical flow simulation, active flow control and load alleviation. Within the Cluster of Excellence SE2A, he is investigating fluidic actuators for active load control during maneuver flight and gust encounters. He is working with project partners from the Institute of Lightweight Structures at TU Braunschweig and the Department of Aerospace Structures and Materials at TU Delft. The project HyCoNoS aims to combine passive load reduction measures such as non-linear wing structures with active flow control in order to reduce the wing structural weight and thus the fuel consumption of modern transport aircraft. In his spare time, Florian enjoys gliding through the air in a glider or sailing across Südsee in Braunschweig in a sailboat.
