Florian Müller-Plathe

In 2015 and 2016, he was visiting fellow in the department of chemical and biological engineering of Princeton University, USA. He was visiting professor at University of São Paulo, Instituto de Física, Brazil from 1995 to 2000.

In 2014, Müller-Plathe was awarded the Athene-Award for interdisciplinary teaching by the Giersch-Foundation. From 1979 to 1985, he held a scholarship of the Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes.

In 2009, Müller-Plathe was elected a regular member of the class of mathematics and sciences of the Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Literatur, Germany.

Since 2001, Müller-Plathe is editor-in-chief of Soft Materials published by Taylor & Francis.

Müller-Plathe studied chemistry at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Germany and obtained his PhD at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Garching, Germany, under the guidance of Geerd Diercksen. He spent several years as a post-doctoral researcher at Daresbury Laboratory, UK, and at ETH Zurich, Switzerland (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich), with Wilfred F. van Gunsteren, where he was awarded his habilitation in physical chemistry in 1994. He led a research group at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, Mainz, Germany, from 1996 until 2002, when he was appointed full professor of physical chemistry at the Jacobs University Bremen, Germany. In 2005, Müller-Plathe accepted a position as a full professor for theoretical physical chemistry at Technische Universität Darmstadt. He was vice-dean for research of the chemistry department at TU Darmstadt from 2007 to 2013. Müller-Plathe was coordinator of the Priority Programme 1369 Polymer-Solid-Contacts – Interfaces & Interphases of the Deutsche Forschungs­gemeinschaft.
