Christian Bahr

Christian Bahr is a Professor in the Faculty of Physics at Georg-August-University Göttingen, where he specializes in soft matter physics with a particular focus on liquid crystals and their multifaceted applications.

His research spans several key areas of liquid crystal physics:

• Liquid crystal-aqueous surfactant systems and interfacial instabilities
• Structure formation and dynamics in molecularly thin smectic liquid crystal films
• Self-organization phenomena at liquid crystal interfaces
• Nematic liquid crystals and colloids in microfluidic environments

Professor Bahr has supervised multiple doctoral students whose research has significantly contributed to advancing liquid crystal science and its practical applications in optics and materials engineering.

His academic mentorship has produced important work examining micellar solubilization of liquid crystals, surface ordering phenomena, and the behavior of liquid crystals under microfluidic confinement, demonstrating the breadth and impact of his research program.
