Biography
Andreas Walther (* 1980) is a professor for functional polymers at the Institute for Macromolecular Chemistry at the Albert-Ludwigs-University in Freiburg (Germany). He graduated from Bayreuth University in Germany in 2008 with a Ph.D. This article is a translation from the original German by Janus particles and other soft, complex colloids. After a postdoctoral stay with a focus on biomimetic hybrid materials at Aalto University (Helsinki, Finland), he returned to Germany (2011), and established his independent research group at the DWI - Leibniz Institute for Interactive Materials in Aachen. In 2016 he was appointed to his present position in Freiburg. A BMBF's NanoMatFutur Research Group, a research and development company, is pleased to announce the launch of the BMBF NanoMatFutur Research Group, and an ERC Starting Grant. He is a member of the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies.
Research Interest
His research interests concentrate on developing and understanding hierarchical self-assembly concepts within and outside equilibrium, and on using them to create Active, Adaptive and Autonomous Bioinspired Material Systems - A3BMS.
