Hanna Bianca Dühnen

I finished a Bachelor of Science in Physics at the University of Göttingen and working at the Max-Planck Institute for Solar System Research under the supervison of Veronika Witzke and Alexander Shapiro. Currently, I am continuing my studies at the university and working as a research assistant at the Max-Planck Institute.
In my research, I look at turbulent shear flows and investigate the effects of thermal diffusivity. My Bachelor's thesis this was focused on the energy evolution of the fluid and now I investigate the mixing processes.
