Festschrift in honor of Kurt Kremer
The festschrift honoring Kurt Kremer’s 70th birthday highlights his transformative work in computational polymer science and soft matter physics, inviting contributions that build upon his foundational methodologies. Key topics include advancements in coarse-grained simulation techniques like the Kremer-Grest bead-spring model and bond fluctuation method, which revolutionized polymer dynamics studies. Papers may explore multiscale modeling approaches for complex fluids, polymer network elasticity, or viscoelastic behavior in entangled systems. Additional themes span membrane biophysics, active soft matter, and organic semiconductor simulations, reflecting Kremer’s interdisciplinary impact. Contributions could also address machine learning integration with polymer physics or high-performance computing advancements for large-scale simulations, continuing his legacy of bridging theoretical, computational, and experimental domains.
