Dr. David Auerbach
Born in South Africa. Studied and subsequently taught flow physics at the University of
Göttingen. After obtaining his doctorate at there, he headed a seminar group on the dynamics
of turbulence at the Max Planck Institute of Flow Research, where he worked both on the
principles of the dynamics of turbulence and on applications in the field of the physics of
phase transition and mixing. In this context, his research has included the flame instability and
mixing processes that occur in burners and power modules. He has held guest professorships:
at CALTECH in the United States; in Eindhoven, Netherlands; and Perth, Australia, where he
investigated various aspects of plant turbulence and aviation physics. He is currently
researching the way the blood transports heat and other substances at the Karl Franzens
University's Physiological Institute in Graz, Austria.
