PhD position “Synthetic Active Matter: Unravelling 3D Real-Space Dynamics”

September 18, 2025

**Job Description**
This project focuses on the experimental realization and study of artificial microswimmers/microrobots that can move and interact autonomously in 3D environments, mimicking the complex dynamics of microorganisms in fluids. The aim is to understand and replicate these life-like dynamics in synthetic systems, combining concepts from physics, chemistry, and mathematical modeling. The long-term goal is to derive design principles for constructing smart, adaptive microsystems potentially useful for targeted drug delivery, biosensing, microfluidic mixing, or self-healing materials.
