Simon Krekels
Postdoctoral Researcher at KU Leuven
My name is Simon, I'm a postdoctoral researcher at KU Leuven in the Christian Maes group. I completed my PhD at imec in 2025. My research is quite broad, and ranges from active matter to superconducting technology.

Active matter
Every particle here follows one rule: steer toward the average heading of its neighbours. That alone is enough for a flock to appear — and for it to fall apart again once the noise wins. Move your cursor into the circle and it will get out of your way.
