Henning Reinken has a Bachelor of Science in Energy Engineering and Process Engineering (Energie- und Prozesstechnik) and a Master of Science in Engineering Science (Physikalische Ingenieurwissenschaft) from the Technical University of Berlin (TUB). He finished his doctoral thesis at the Institute for Theoretical Physics at TUB in 2023. Currently, he is a postdoctoral researcher at the Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg. In addition to research on pattern formation and turbulence in active fluids, Henning has worked on projects concerned with flow properties of liquid crystals and non-Newtonian and viscoelastic active materials. His research interests include nonlinear dynamics and pattern formation observed in environmental and biological systems, continuum-theoretical modeling, fluid dynamics, turbulence and turbulent transport, soft matter and biophysics. Besides his research activities, Henning was the managing director of the Collaborative Research Center 910 (CRC 910, ``Control of self-organizing nonlinear systems: Theoretical methods and concepts of application'') from 2019 to 2022. The CRC 910 brought together mathematicians, physicists and neuroscientists working on the control of nonlinear systems far away from equilibrium and organized multiple interdisciplinary conferences, workshops and other events.
