We are pleased to announce the successful defense of the dissertation by Mr. M. Sc. Jan Eric Marquardt, titled: "Modeling and Simulation of Suspension Dynamics Capturing Shapes and Contacts - With Applications"

Jan's outstanding scientific work was awarded the highest distinction, summa cum laude, in recognition of his exceptionally rigorous methodology, demonstrated interdisciplinary creativity, and, in particular, the sustainable and transparent implementation of his approch in the open-source software OpenLB (www.openlb.net).

His research has resulted in six first-author and five co-author publications. Notably, one of his recent papers was published in the prestigious journal Computer Physics Communications (Impact Factor: 7.2, Impact Factor7,2 --Marquardt, J. E., Hafen, N., and Krause, M. J. "A novel model for direct numerical simulation of suspension dynamics with arbitrarily shaped convex particles.” In: Computer Physics Communications 304 (2024), p. 109321. DOI:10.1016/j.cpc.2024.109321).

We warmly congratulate Dr.-Ing. Jan E. Marquardt on this remarkable achievement!
