Peter Lenz PhD

Dr. Peter's research interests cover a broad range of topics in theoretical soft condensed matter, biological physics, and quantitative (systems) biology. On the one hand, he is studying the mechanical and dynamical properties of biological and soft condensed matter. Here, the main themes of his research are morphological transitions, shape fluctuations and instabilities, and the emergence of order (for details see homepage). On the other hand, he is using physical methods to investigate the physiological properties of microbiological systems. Here, the long-term goal is to establish quantitative links between molecular scales and cell physiology.
