Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellow, PhD

Biography

Ibon Santiago is a physicist working at the interface between physics and biology. His research interests focus on the design and study of minimal physical systems that mimic fascinating out-of-equilibrium properties found in biological phenomena, such as locomotion, growth and replication. He currently holds an Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship at the Technical University of Munich.

His early experimental work at the Research Laboratory of Electronics (Prof. Martin Zwierlein, Center for Ultracold Atoms) centred on laser cooling and trapping of quantum mixtures of ultracold atoms. He later specialised in Biophysics and worked in the DNA Nanotechnology group (Prof. Andrew Turberfield), covering active matter physics, DNA nanotechnology, and non-equilibrium statistical physics. In Prof. Friedrich Simmel’s laboratory at TUM, Ibon is developing nanodevices capable of autonomous motion.
