Research

Postdoc: From 2017 to 2022, Hannah Zindel researched the history of the boundary-layer wind tunnel in the 20th and 21st centuries as part of her postdoctoral project. Her aim was to trace the history of urban climate research using this specific object as a reference point. 2018, she contributed to two international exhibition projects as a research assistant, centered on the themes of wind, air, and inflatables (Neue Gesellschaft für Bildende Kunst Berlin: “Floating Utopias”; Palais de Tokyo Paris: “On Air”). 2019, she was a scientist in residence at Zurich University of the Arts. Her academic publications can be found under ORCID 0000-0002-9954-319X.

PhD: From 2011 to 2017, Hannah Zindel examined balloon travel in the 19th century as part of her doctoral research. From a media-historical perspective, she examined, for example, the floating weather and photography laboratories in the balloon cabins. She was a doctoral fellow at DFG Research Training Group “Media of History – History of Media” at Bauhaus University Weimar and University of Erfurt, as well as in the program “Spaces of Knowledge” at the Center for Historical and Cultural Studies at University of Trier.
