Mahdi Saeedipour’s (Institute of Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer) post-doctoral dissertation titled "Analysis, Modeling and Simulation of Turbulent Interfacial Flows" focuses on the study of flows in the presence of droplets, bubbles, and fluid-fluid interfaces by applying a wide range of computational methods, including direct numerical simulation (DNS), large-eddy simulation (LES), and modeling strategies which have numerous industrial applications, such as in steel manufacturing, oil transportation, fluid atomization, and bubble flows during chemical processes.

Those pursuing a habilitation/post-doc undergo an academic evaluation in regard to special qualifications that proves their ability to independently conduct academic/scientific research and teach the entire depth and breadth of their selected subject area [facultas docendi], This, in turn, is the prerequisite to grant authorization to teach that particular subject area.
