Oliver Paulin

Oliver previously studied for his Masters and D.Phil (PhD) degrees at the University of Oxford, before joining the Zwicker Group as a postdoc in 2023. Broadly, he is interested in fluid dynamics and soft matter physics, and their application to both biological and geophysical systems. During his D.Phil, he studied multiphase fluid flow through soft porous media, with a specific focus on the formation and collapse of ‘non-wetting cavities’ in poroelastic materials. His current research concerns phase separation in soft systems, with application to the behaviour of biomolecular condensates in cells. In his free time, Oliver can be found running around the hills and forests surrounding Göttingen.
