Statistical physics of complex fluids
Seminar winter term 2015/16
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time: monday, 14:15h
Place : EW 731
Preliminary discussion takes place on monday, 12.10.2015
Distribution of topics and dates; Students are invited
Contact: Prof. Dr. Sabine Klapp
Content:
In the seminar new developments in the field of statistical phyics of complex fluids are introduced and current research in our work group is presented.
Students that require a seminar certificate and/or are interested in working on a bachelor or diploma thesis in our group are very welcome.
Our focus lies on:
- Dynamics outside of equilibrium
- Formation of structure and phase transitions in external fields
- Fluid nanostructures
- Self-Assembly
- New concepts of theoretical modelling such as dynamical density functional theory and computer simulations
