Introduction
I am a master student in theoretical physics at the Technical University Dresden, Germany. I am also participating in the Theory of Polymers department at the Leibniz-Institut für Polymerforschung in Dresden in the group of Prof. J. Sommer, supervised by Dr. A. Sharma.
In the last few years of studying I developed interest in soft condensed matter physics. My first scientific thesis was about the entropy production rate in a system governed by the use of (Dynamical) Density Functional Theory.
I am also giving tutorials in mathematics for engeneers and am teaching foundations of logic for philosophy students at the university with now in total 4 semester of experience.
Research
The density profile of hard one-dimesnional rods confined between two hard walls is simulated using Dynamical Density Functional methods. The equilibration of the rods out of a highly confined potential into the equilibrium in the confining walls is shown. The time scale of the simulation is nonlinear.
Bachelor Thesis
"Entropy Production In A Non-Equilibrium System Of Hard Rods In Confinement": thesis, program code, data, movie and pictures
