Warum und woran ich forsche

I use physics to study biological cells, the basic building blocks of life. On the one hand, I predict the interaction of lipid-bilayer membranes - the communication interfaces between cells and their environment - with nano- and microstructures. On the other hand, I use high-performance computing to simulate active matter confined by membranes. Here, I employ generic models to understand concepts for the non-equilibrium physics essential for life, e.g., metabolically-driven processes in the cytoskeleton.
