Biography:Friederike Schmid
Friederike Schmid is a German theoretical condensed-matter physicist and polymer scientist whose research involves the theory of complex fluids and polymer emulsions. She is a professor of theoretical physics at the University of Mainz.[1]
Education and career
Schmid studied physics as an undergraduate at Heidelberg University and the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, earning a diploma in 1989. She completed her Ph.D. in 1991 at the University of Mainz.[1]
After postdoctoral research at the University of Washington and as an assistant to Johannes Binder at the University of Mainz, she earned a habilitation in 1997. From 1999 to 2000 she worked at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, and in 2000 she obtained a professorship in theoretical physics at Bielefeld University. She moved to her present position as professor of theoretical physics at the University of Mainz in 2009.[1]
Recognition
Schmid was a 1998 recipient of the Gerhard Hess Award (de) of the German Research Foundation.[1] She was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) in 2022, after a nomination from the APS Division of Polymer Physics, "for innovative contributions in the development and application of dynamic density functional theory of polymers and dynamic coarse-graining approaches for soft matter in general".[2]
