Smile because of snow. Bayreuth (2008) |
I hold the Chair for Theoretical Physics II in the Department of Physics of the University of Bayreuth, Germany, and am a Visiting Fellow in the Theory Group at the Department of Physics of the University of Bristol, UK.
My research covers the physics of soft
condensed matter, and in particular dispersions of colloidal
particles and polymer solutions. Of interest are
collective phenomena such as phase transitions (condensation,
demixing, and freezing) and the influence of gravity, substrates, and
random disorder on such phenomena. Methods to handle the
Statistical Mechanics are density functional theory and
computer simulations.

Experimentalists in Bayreuth who share similar research interests are Professor Thomas Fischer and Dr Alexander Wittemann.

I have a postdoc and/or PhD position in Theoretical Soft Matter Physics open, starting in October 2009. Informal enquiries, via email, are welcome! -Selbstverständlich auch in deutscher Sprache.
Talks. See the programmes of Physikalisches Kolloquium, Kolloquium des SFB481, Forschergruppe FOR608, and central uni site.
