Sollich, Peter, Prof. Dr.


  • 1995 - 1999 Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Research Fellow, University of Edinburgh & King's College London
  • 1999 - 2002 Lecturer, Department of Mathematics, King's College London
  • 2002 - 2004 Reader, Department of Mathematics, King's College London

  • Since 2018 Professor at the Georg-August-University Göttingen, Institute for Theoretical Physics



Major Research Interests

I have broad-ranging research interests within the area of non-equilibrium statistical physics, including soft and active matter rheology, jamming and glassiness, dynamical phase transitions, phase separation dynamics, effects of non-Gaussian noise, dynamics on networks and inference from dynamical data.

I took up my appointment at the Institute for Theoretical Physics in Goettingen in April 2018. While my webpage here is being set up, please consult my page at King's College London https://nms.kcl.ac.uk/peter.sollich/-- where I retain a small part-time appointment -- for further information and a full publications list.
