Welcome to the Chair for Theoretical Physics

Our research focuses on non-equilibrium statistical physics, soft matter and theoretical biological physics, as well as physically motivated data science. Key topics include the theory and applications of normal and anomalous stochastic processes, gene regulation, crowding in biological cells, (bio)polymer physics, as well as Bayesian maximum likelihood and machine learning analyses. Effects of disorder, annealed or quenched, interacting particles, or non-stationary dynamics are studied. Our methods are analytics, numerics (Mathematica etc), and simulations (Langevin dynamics, Monte Carlo, etc). We collaborate with a number of theoretical and experimental groups worldwide.
