Prof. Abhinav Sharma is a Professor of Theoretical Physics II at the University of Augsburg, affiliated with the Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftlich-Technische Fakultät. His research focuses on active matter, soft condensed matter physics, and non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, with contributions to understanding complex systems, Brownian dynamics, and material science. He advises PhD students including Bhavesh Valecha and Atharva Pandit, and collaborates with institutions globally. His work emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches, combining theoretical frameworks with experimental insights. Education: PhD in Physics from Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (2011), specializing in organic field-effect transistors and charge transport. Notable research themes include active particles, chiral transport, and non-equilibrium systems. Over 60 peer-reviewed publications since 2006, with recent contributions in Soft Matter , Physical Review Letters , and Science Advances . Research interests span theoretical and computational studies of soft matter, biophysical systems, and active matter, addressing questions in fluid dynamics, polymer physics, and stochastic processes. His lab investigates phenomena such as cargo transport, anomalous diffusion, and critical slowing down in disordered networks.
