RESEARCH INTERESTS

Prof. Stemmer studied aerospace engineering at the University of Stuttgart followed by a PhD 2001 at the same institution. Receiving a two-year postdoctoral grant, he went to the Center for Turbulence Research at Stanford University and NASA Ames Reseach Center. 2003 he switched to the Technical University of Dresden for two years before coming to TUM in 2005. After his habilitation 2011, he worked at TUM as an Adjunct Teaching Professor. Prof. Stemmer was appointed TUM Adjunct Professor in the field of high-speed aerodynamics in 2019.
