The professorship is awarded to scientists with high international research reputations seeking to collaborate with TUM researchers.\u00a0 In collaboration with his host, Professor Christine M. Papadakis and the Soft Matter Physics team, Schulte studied the dynamics of responsive polymers in aqueous solutions under high pressure. This technique controls the phase behavior of synthetic and biological polymers in water. Applications of their work includes developing medical drug carriers in which the release of small molecules is triggered by external stimuli.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was excited. It\u2019s a very prestigious award,\u201d Schulte said.<\/p>\n<p>Schulte noted that the visit opened up future opportunities for UCF students to participate in the collaboration.<\/p>\n<p>For more information:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.groups.ph.tum.de\/en\/softmatter\/soft-matter-physics\/\">http:\/\/www.groups.ph.tum.de\/en\/softmatter\/soft-matter-physics\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tum.de\/en\/about-tum\/our-university\/\">https:\/\/www.tum.de\/en\/about-tum\/our-university\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A UCF Physics professor was honored this summer with a visiting professorship at one of the top universities in Europe.
