Alexei Krekhov
Dr. habil. Alexei Krekhov received his PhD in theoretical physics from the Perm
State University (Russia) in 1990 studying defects in liquid crystals. During his
Humboldt Research Fellowship at U. Bayreuth from 1994-96 he studied pattern
formation in liquid crystals. Starting 1999 he was a researcher at U. Bayreuth
working on pattern formation in complex fluids and soft matter theory. In 2010
he received the habilitation in theoretical physics from U. Bayreuth. He joined the
institute in October 2013. His current research interests include nonlinear dynamics
in excitable media, two phase convection and modeling of cell motility.
