Open positions
There is an opening for a PhD student working on the multiscale modeling of biologically modified materials, as well as a position for a student (studentische Hilfskraft) (more details).
Research interests
Our work is based on a variety of computational tools, ranging from classical (Monte-Carlo schemes within empirical potential approaches, Molecular Dynamics), semi-empirical (parametrized tight-binding schemes), quantum mechanical (implementations of the density functional theory), and multiscale methodologies (coupled Langevin molecular-dynamics and lattice-Boltzmann method for modeling molecular motion in a fluid solvent).
Integration of biomolecules and materials
DNA translocation through narrow pores
Optoelectronic and mechanical properties of carbon nanostructures
Ionic solutions in water
[More details will come soon...]
