Symposium in Honor of the 70th Birthday of Professor Hans Herrmann
With great enthusiasm, we announce a special symposium honoring the 70th birthday of Prof. Hans Herrmann, a distinguished figure in our scientific community. This one-day celebratory event will occur in Fortaleza on June 14th, 2024.
Prof. Hans has dedicated his career to many different aspects of physics
Professor Hans Herrmann has had a distinguished career, working at leading European research centers and as Director at several
prestigious institutions. Notably, he was the head of the many-particle group at the HLRZ at KFA Jülich in Germany and Director of
PMMH at ESPCI in Paris.
He also held positions as Director and full professor at the Institute for Computational Physics at the
University of Stuttgart, Germany, and as a professor at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, where he retired in 2019 and became Professor Emeritus.
Throughout his career, Professor Herrmann has been honored with numerous awards, including the Max-Planck and
Gentner-Kastler prizes. He is also a member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences.
His scholarly work includes over:
Professor Hans Herrmann (year)
Professor Herrmann's career is marked by a spirit of collaboration and knowledge-sharing. His long and fruitful association with the
Department of Physics at the Federal University of Ceará, where he occasionally served as a Visiting Professor, is a testament to this. During
his tenure, he has taught and supervised several graduate students and fostered intense scientific collaborations with many researchers from our
Collegiate, leading to substantial scientific output.
Professor Herrmann's research interests are as diverse as they are fascinating, covering many phenomena in statistical physics and complex systems.
Whether on a computer or a sheet of paper, his work spans a broad spectrum, showing the depth of his curiosity and expertise, such as the study of
dunes and Apollonian packings, density waves, fragmentation, stratification, segregation, compactification, sedimentation, percolation, kinetic gelation,
cluster-cluster aggregation, traffic, mineral dendrites, superplasticity, the Potts model, cellular automata, fracture, growth phenomena, geometrical
critical phenomena, and dissipative gases.
In addition to his research, Professor Herrmann is the managing editor of the International Journal of Modern Physics C and Granular Matter
and serves on the editorial boards of several other journals. He has also edited several influential books in his field.
