Prof. Dr. Jürgen P. Rabe
Jürgen P. Rabe has been Professor of the Physics of Macromolecules at the Department of Physics at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin since 1994. His research aims to correlate the structure and dynamics of molecular systems at interfaces with mechanical, electronic, optical and (bio)chemical properties, from the molecular to the macroscopic length and time scales.
He is also the Founding Director of the Integrative Research Institute for the Sciences – IRIS Adlershof at HU Berlin.
