Über uns

At the Electric Ant Lab we develop simulation models and run virtual experiments. Supplemented by a network of experts, Electric Ant Lab brings state-of-the-art science to applications in the scientific community and industry.

We are experts in the fields of:

Complex Fluids : We are developing simulation models for the study of rheology and transport properties of complex fluids with examples ranging from (colloidal) hard suspensions like concrete, mud, oil sands, and pastes, to suspensions of deformable objects (e.g. full blood) flowing in complex geometries of any size from microfluidic devices to large mixers. We're dedicated to the development of simulation models for systems for which standard CFD approaches fail (e.g. Bingham plastics, thixotropic/rheopectic materials).

Multiscale Modeling Methods : Simulations of large-scale problems at the precision of microscale models can be tackled through multiscale methods. We develop coupled simulations resolving different scales for both, maximal realism, and optimal HPC resources utilization.

Network Dynamics : Within the last decade, it has become apparent that many systems can only be fully understood in terms of networks. Examples range from the architecture of the Internet to the metabolism of living cells, and from stability of power grids to information flow within companies.

Network Medicine and Bioinformatics : The large and continuously growing amount of data on biomolecular working principles poses new challenges on how to interpret and integrate them and ultimately bring them to application. We conduct cutting edge research in the emerging field of network medicine and have broad experience in extensive bioinformatics analyses.
