Welcome!

Christine Papadakis is new extraordinary CeNS member

 

Christine M. Papadakis is a professor at the Physics Department of Technical University of Munich and head of the Soft Matter Physics Group. After studying physics at the Universities of Mainz and Grenoble, she completed her doctorate at Roskilde University, Denmark. Following a postdoctoral stay (1996-98) at Risø National Laboratory, Roskilde, Denmark, Prof. Papadakis earned her postdoctoral teaching qualification at the University of Leipzig in 2003. She has been a member of proposal committees at several large-scale facilities and is editor-in-chief at Colloid & Polymer Science, Springer Verlag. Her group uses light, X-ray and neutron scattering methods, also with complex sample environments (e.g. under high pressure or in controlled solvent vapor atmosphere) to investigate polymers of complex architecture, (multi-)responsive polymers, block copolymers and polymers for drug delivery. In time-resolved scattering experiments during rapid changes of temperature or pressure or during swelling of polymer films, the pathways of structural changes are determined.
