Research

My research focuses on complex systems involving many degrees of freedom in which collective interactions give rise to a rich zoology of physical phenomena. Besides the theoretical analysis, an important tool in tackling these problems are numerical simulations.

 

Current research topics include:

 

nonequilibrium growth processes, in particular dissolution in porous media and rock fractures

 

 

 

 

mechanical properties of protein molecules

 

 

 

 

dynamics of soft matter systems
