Index
Andreas Walther is a Professor at the Department of Chemistry at the University of Mainz (Germany). His research interests concentrate on developing and understanding hierarchical self-assembly concepts inside and outside equilibrium, and on using them to create active, adaptive and autonomous bioinspired material systems. He graduated from Bayreuth University in Germany in 2008 with a PhD focusing on the self- assembly behavior and applications of Janus particles and other soft, complex colloids. After a post-doctoral stay with a focus on biomimetic hybrid materials at Aalto University (Helsinki, Finland), he held positions at the Leibniz Institute for Interactive Materials in Aachen and the University of Freiburg, where he reoriented his research towards life-inspired materials systems. In 2020 he has been appointed to the present position supported by the Gutenberg Research College.
