Master theses projects in living matter physics

We have several Master's projects available, and encourage motivated students to contact us at any time. Research in our department covers a wide range of topics centred on the physics of living and active matter.

Our team is highly interdisciplinary and international. We use theoretical frameworks and analytical tools from non-equilibrium statistical physics, hydrodynamics and complex/dynamical systems to understand and predict the behaviour of active systems on vastly different scales.

Depending on the application, the work in our department ranges from pen-and-paper analytical calculations to high-performance numerical simulations to analysis of experimental data generated by collaborators.

Recommended background

  • Solid background in M.Sc.-level theoretical physics
  • Courses on biopysics, non-equilibrium physics, advanced statistical physics, complex systems or collective behaviour
  • Experience in scientific computing

If you are interested in doing cutting-edge active-matter research, then write to golestanian-office@ds.mpg.de or contact the group leaders directly, who are also happy to informally answer any questions you might have.
