Staff members with discipline Mechanics
Academia develops at the interface of different fields. This is one reason why the University of Groningen is home to a wide range of fields, each with a great number of subject specialists. The overview below, which is based on a standard categorization of fields, will help you find the right expert for each field. If you cannot find the expert you are looking for in this list, try searching via a related field or faculty; you may find him or her there.

Research in the Onck group aims at understanding the micromechanical and functional behavior of (biological) materials based on an accurate description of the underlying (bio-) physical mechanisms. Computational techniques (e.g. molecular dynamics, finite element methods and solid-fluid interaction techniques) are being used to explicitly account for the physical mechanisms at the relevant length scales.
Primary focus at the moment is on:
(i) Transport through the nuclear pore complex
(ii) Phase separation and aggregation of disordered proteins
(iii) Molecular chaperones in neurodegenerative diseases
(iii) Soft-robotic nature-inspired microswimmers and magnetic artificial cilia.

I am an experienced academic researcher, educator and manager. As a mechanical engineer, I am a specialist in the field of tribology –the science and technology of interacting surfaces in relative motion– and a generalist performing and leading award-winning research on renewable energy and advanced manufacturing. Beyond developing and teaching courses, I have experience in the day-to-day running of a Master program, the development of curricula and the ensuring of quality for accreditation. I manage tenure-track staff as Chair of a research group and have been supervising early career researchers, PhD, Master and Bachelor students. I collaborate closely with industry and, having successfully launched a spin-off company, participate in various national and international initiatives promoting renewable energy research.
