Nima Hamidi Siboni

Dr. Nima Hamidi Siboni is a researcher at the Institute of Theoretical Physics, Faculty II - Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Technische Universität Berlin. His research focuses on the non-equilibrium behavior of soft matter systems, particularly using molecular dynamics simulations to study magnetic liquid crystals under external fields.

• Specialization: Computational physics and statistical mechanics of complex fluids

His 2020 work on non-monotonic rheology in magnetic liquid crystal systems revealed counterintuitive shear stress dependencies on magnetic field strength, driven by competing alignment effects and entropy-induced demixing. This research contributes to understanding field-responsive materials and non-equilibrium phase transitions.

The Institute of Theoretical Physics will merge with other physics institutes and the Center for Astronomy and Astrophysics in 2025 to form the new Institute of Physics and Astronomy. Dr. Hamidi Siboni's work aligns with the institute's focus on nonlinear physics and complex systems across multiple scales.
