Life

Roland Ketzmerick studied physics at TU Darmstadt , University of Freiburg , Purdue University , USA. He passed the diploma examination at the University of Freiburg with Josef Honerkamp and Hans Christian Öttinger and was there with Theo Geisel as a Dr. phil. nat. PhD. He then worked as a post-doc at the University of California, Santa Barbara with Walter Kohn and at the University of Frankfurt in the Collaborative Research Center for Nonlinear Dynamics . From 1996 to 2002 he was employed at the Max Planck Institute for Flow Research and the University of Göttingen . During this time he received the Otto Klung Weberbank Prize for Physics in 1999 , which is awarded to outstanding young German scientists. Since 2002 he has been Professor of Computational Physics at the TU Dresden .

Ketzmerick has been a "Max Planck Fellow" at the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems since 2010 . The status as a Max Planck Fellow is limited to five years.
