About Alexandra

Alexandra Alicke serves as an Assistant Professor on the tenure track in the Processing and Performance group at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Eindhoven University of Technology, a position she assumed in September 2022. She leads Group Alicke and holds an affiliation with the Institute for Complex Molecular Systems. Her academic journey began at Pontificia Universidade Catolica do Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio), Brazil, where she earned a B.Sc. in Petroleum Engineering in 2011, graduating with three academic excellence awards for her project on the rheological properties of gelled waxy crude oils. She then obtained an M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from PUC-Rio in 2013, with a thesis titled “LAOS rheological characterization of an elastoviscoplastic material” supervised by Professor Paulo R. de Souza Mendes. During her master's, Alicke worked as a research engineer in PUC-Rio's Rheology Group, engaging in fundamental research and industry collaborations with Statoil and Petrobras. In 2016, she commenced doctoral studies at ETH Zürich's Department of Materials under Professor Jan Vermant, partially funded by a consortium studying electrocoalescence. She completed her D.Sc. in 2021 with a thesis entitled “Elastoviscoplastic interfaces and their role in the stability of multiphase materials.”
