Han Slot

Han Slot is a Full Professor at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Eindhoven University of Technology. His research focuses on theoretical polymer physics and step-growth polymerization processes, with applications in materials science and soft matter systems. He specializes in developing mathematical models to describe molecular architectures, phase behavior, and structural properties of polymers.

• Key areas: polymerization kinetics, microphase separation, and statistical mechanics of complex fluids
• Current educational activities include courses on asymptotic techniques, tensor calculus, and differential geometry

Recent work investigates branching dynamics in multi-functional monomer systems, semi-flexible diblock copolymer self-assembly, and thermal-mechanical behavior of fiber-reinforced composites. His research combines analytical methods with numerical simulations to predict material properties at molecular and mesoscopic scales.

• Publications emphasize bivariate distribution analysis, Landau free energy theory, and polymer network characterization
• Actively collaborates with industry via Dutch Polymer Institute-funded projects
