Peter Virnau is a researcher in the Department of Physics at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, with a habilitation in Theoretical Physics (2016) and a PhD in Physics (2003). He has held positions such as Akademischer Direktor (2022-present) and Akademischer Oberrat (2013-2022).
- Education: Habilitation (2016), PhD (2003), Master of Science (1999)
- Research Focus: Theoretical studies on skyrmions, polymers, and topological phenomena in soft and biological matter.
His work spans computational physics, including molecular dynamics simulations of polymer knotting and skyrmion lattice behavior. He has developed coarse-grained models for DNA and studied phase transitions in active systems.
Recent publications highlight applications of skyrmion dynamics in computing, topological effects in polymer melts, and DNA knotting under confinement. His research combines computational methods with experimental data analysis.
