About

Anke Lindner is a leading experimental physicist whose research lies at the dynamic intersection of soft matter, fluid dynamics, and active matter. Her work is distinguished by a deep commitment to understanding how complex fluids—from polymers and suspensions to living systems—flow, deform, and self-organize. She is perhaps best known for pioneering microfluidic approaches to probe the nonlinear rheology of dilute polymer solutions, revealing the intricate interplay between elasticity and flow instabilities. More recently, Lindner has become a central figure in the rapidly evolving field of active matter, where she investigates how biological and synthetic agents convert energy into directed motion. Her influence is underscored by her role as a co-author on the landmark "2025 motile active matter roadmap," a comprehensive guide that has already garnered significant attention. With a career spanning over two decades and citations numbering in the thousands, Lindner’s work not only advances fundamental physics but also inspires new generations of researchers to explore the beautiful complexity of nonequilibrium systems.
