Dr. Huynh Van Luong (Vietnam) is involved in research related to the field of image and video coding and processing. As a Humboldt Fellow at the Chair of Multimedia Communications and Signal Processing at FAU, he is developing a distributed sensing framework to deal with high-dimensional data for multi-view object recognition and tracking toward mobile augmented reality.
Dr. Duo Xu focuses his research interests on turbulent flows and transition to turbulence in shear flows using state-of-the-art experimental and numerical research tools. Since August 2014, he has been a Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellow at the Chair of Fluid Mechanics (FAU) studying the transition to turbulence in pulsation pipe flows in the group led by Prof. M. Avila (FAU) in collaboration with Prof. B. Hof (IST Austria).
Dr. Liang Zhang got the prestigious Alexander von Humboldt research fellowship to carry out his postdoctoral research at FAU under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Hans-Peter Steinrück at the Chair of Physical Chemistry II. At FAU, his research is mainly about “surface science with porphyrins”.
Dr. Josefina Rodríguez Arribas has been a member of the International Consortium for Research in the Humanities "Fate, Freedom and Prognostication" at FAU (October 2014 - September 2015). Her most recent research at the Consortium "Fate, Freedom and Prognostication" at FAU concerns the textual and material evidence about the practice of divination among Jews in the Middle Ages.
