We welcome back one of our own previous PhD students Ingo Tischler:
Currently I am studying electro-osmotic phenomena of charged colloids in ionic solutions. Whenever there are charged particles in solution they accumulate counter-ions around themself which form the so called double layer. This double layer screens some of the original charge and due to drag also changes the transport properties of the colloid. These systems are investigated on a continuum scale using the electrokinetic method of ESPResSo.
Furthermore I am also involved in the development of ESPResSo.
