  • Univ.-Prof. Dr. Roberto Cerbino
    
    Research Focus:
    I am interested in supervising experimental projects in Soft matter and Biophysics. Current areas of interest (but I am happy to discuss other areas as well) include:
    - dynamics, phase transitions, and mechanical properties of cell tissues
    - memory, rheology, yielding, and failure of amorphous solids
    - non-equilibrium phenomena in microgravity
    - development of novel optical and mechanical techniques and approaches

• Gravitational Physics

  • Ass.-Prof. Dr. David M Fajman
    
    Research Focus:
    I work on mathematical aspects of General Relativity, in particular on the dynamics of Einstein’s equations coupled to various matter models. This field concerns questions from mathematical cosmology or isolated self-gravitating systems focussed on the stability of various solutions of the Einstein equations.

  • Ass-Prof Andreas Nunnenkamp, PhD
    
    Research Focus:
    We are a theory group interested in how to create, control and exploit quantum coherence in the many-body setting. The big questions we address include interplay of topology, interactions and disorder, and control by driving, feedback and dissipation. We aim at advancing quantum technology and the understanding of non-equilibrium phases of matter.
