Jan Meibohm

Jan Meibohm serves as a Research Fellow at the Institute for Theoretical Physics within the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at Technical University of Berlin, joining Professor Sabine Klapp's research group in October 2023 after postdoctoral tenures at the University of Luxembourg (with Massimiliano Esposito) and King's College London (with Yan Fyodorov).

His academic foundation includes physics studies at Berlin and Heidelberg universities, culminating in a 2020 PhD from the University of Gothenburg under Bernhard Mehlig's supervision, where his thesis examined phase-space dynamics of heavy particles in turbulence.

Dr. Meibohm's research centers on Non-Equilibrium Phase Transitions, Relaxation Processes, and Turbulent Aerosols, with specific investigations into critical properties of dynamical phase transitions, synchronization phenomena, finite-time relaxation dynamics, and caustic formation mechanisms. His methodological expertise spans Large-deviation theory, Optimal-fluctuation theory, Dynamical Systems analysis, Fokker-Planck equations, and Monte-Carlo simulations, applied to complex fluid systems and non-equilibrium statistical mechanics.

Analysis of his 11 publications (2020-2025) reveals a cohesive research trajectory focused on non-equilibrium statistical physics, with dominant themes in dynamical phase transitions (particularly finite-time variants), turbulent aerosol dynamics, and synchronization in stochastic systems. His work consistently bridges theoretical frameworks like Landau theory with practical applications in fluid dynamics and thermodynamics.

Scientific Awards: None documented in provided materials.

Advising and Grants: No supervisory roles or grant funding details are specified in the available information, though his collaborative work with prominent researchers like Esposito and Fyodorov indicates active participation in funded research initiatives.

As a core member of AG Klapp (Professor Sabine Klapp's research group), Dr. Meibohm contributes to theoretical physics research centered on computer simulations of complex fluids, operating from the EW 7-1 building (Room EW 279) at TU Berlin.
