I am a habilitant (the rough equivalent of a lecturer or maybe senior lecturer) at the Institute for Theoretical Physics of the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität.
My research interests revolve around soft condensed matter systems with a complex spatial micro- or nanostructure, in particular their analysis through the 'goggles' of advanced geometry.
I am a principal investigator within the DFG research group Geometry and Physics of Spatial Random Systems, am associated with the Cluster of Excellence Engineering of Advanced Materials, and I am also a visiting fellow of the Department of Applied Maths at the Australian National University.
Programming course February and March 2013 : I am organising an introductory block course about computer programming in C/C++ and scientific computing. There are still spots available, click here for details.
Conference on Geometry and Physics of Spatial Random Systems 9-13 Sept 2013 : We are organising a conference on physics of structurally random systems, to take place from 9-13 Sept 2013 in Freudenstadt (Black Forest). Check here for further updates or drop me an email on gerd.schroeder-turk@physik.uni-erlangen.de
Interface Focus issue "Geometry of Interfaces" : The Interface Focus issue dedicated to the themes of the 2011 conference "Geometry of Interfaces" in Primosten/Croatia was published in October 2012, see here. Thank you to all contributors!
