New Professorship for "Computational Interface Physics" at the Department of Physics
- News

The Department of Physics is strengthening its competences in the field of theoretical physics by establishing a professorship for "Computational Interface Physics". The professorship will be held by Prof. Risselada, who previously worked at the University of Göttingen and held the position of group leader at Leiden University, from 1 October 2021. His primary research topic is computational theoretical biophysics, which he will also actively contribute to the RESOLV cluster of excellence.
![3D visualisation of human neuronal tissue reconstructed by multi-scale X-ray phase contrast tomography. Neuronal cell nuclei are shown in yellow for the granule neurons in the dentate gyrus region of the hippocampus. Blood vessels are shown in red. By changing the X-ray optical magnification in the multi-scale recordings, one can zoom into regions-of-interest (red ovals). In these scans the resolution is high enough to resolve sub-structures of the nucleus, associated with different DNA packing regimes.
