Henri studied in Heidelberg, Germany and Copenhagen, Denmark before joining the Zwicker lab as a PhD candidate in 2024. While for his undergraduate studies he focused on cell motility utilizing phase fields as well as optimal transport and Wasserstein distances, he investigated active turbulences modeled by nematics at the Niels-Bohr Institute in Copenhagen. Continuing researching on soft matter physics, he nowadays takes interest in phase separation within multi-component systems, e.g., inside cells, where a multitude of proteins interact with each other. In his free time, he enjoys cooking, acting, rowing and sailing  as well as generally speaking being outside.
