Kurt Kremer

Kurt Kremer is a Professor and Director at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research since 1995. He has held positions at institutions including the University of Mainz, Forschungszentrum Jülich, and the University of Minnesota.

• Education: PhD in Theoretical Physics (University of Cologne, 1983); Habilitation in Theoretical Physics (University of Mainz, 1988); Dipl.-Phys. from University of Cologne (1980).

His research spans non-equilibrium materials development, multiscale modeling, and soft matter physics, focusing on macromolecular materials. His work includes simulations of polymers, polyelectrolytes, and peptides under constraints.

Scientific Awards:

• ERC-Advanced Grant (2013)
• APS Polymer Physics Prize (2011)
• Fellow of the American Physical Society (2006)
• Walter Schottky Prize (1992)

His publications emphasize multiscale simulation methods, polymer dynamics, and structure-property relations, with applications in organic electronics and biological systems.
