معرفی
Gregor J. Golabek serves as Associate Professor at the Bavarian Geo Institute, University of Bayreuth, Germany, where he investigates planetary-scale geodynamical processes through numerical and analytical modeling to unravel the evolution of planetary interiors.
His research focuses on terrestrial planet thermomechanical evolution, comet dynamics, Earth's lower mantle rheology (including strain weakening and grain size evolution), and planet formation processes. He integrates multidisciplinary approaches from astrophysics, geochemistry, and rock physics to address fundamental questions about planetary body formation and evolution, with particular emphasis on early solar system dynamics and exoplanetary systems.
Recent publications (2022-2025) demonstrate consistent output in high-impact journals, revealing strong thematic focus on Mars/Venus geodynamics, Earth's mantle evolution, and exoplanet characterization. His methodological approach combines cutting-edge numerical simulations (StagYY, SPH) with experimental validation, frequently incorporating observational data from spacecraft missions like MAVEN and James Webb Space Telescope.
Golabek actively recruits master's and PhD students for geodynamics research, maintaining extensive international collaborations with institutions including ETH Zurich, University of British Columbia, and University of Groningen across projects spanning planetary formation, impact cratering, and mantle convection dynamics.
