MSc in Mechanical Engineering, now doing a PHD at the
Unsteady flow diagnostics laboratory - EPFL

Breuer lab postdoc Alexander Gehrke is first author of a paper on the aerodynamic potential of more flexible wings using a membrane made from a silicone-based polymer. https://t.co/xSc6lvdfQj

[Alexander Gehrke @AlexanderGehrk4]

Exciting to see EPFL News featuring my work on how flexible, bat-like wings generate lift more efficiently! 🦇 By bending just right, they boost performance—insights that could shape future drones & energy tech. 🚀 Check it out: https://t.co/7Kw8ZxJBQu

🚨 New paper alert 🚨

Our new work on membrane wings is now published in
@pnas.org
🎉

Flexible membrane wings can outperform stiff wings and, surprisingly, they perform best when the formation of a leading edge vortex is suppressed 🌀

Many thanks to @snsf_ch and the organisers of the #SwissScienceImage competition! It is also a special feeling to see my first 📸 in an exhibition.
Here is "Spot", starring @alexandros_ana.

EPFL researchers have used a genetic learning algorithm to identify optimal pitch profiles for the blades of vertical-axis wind turbines, which despite their high energy potential, have until now been vulnerable to strong gusts of wind.
