Full description
Dr Mihail N Popescu is an applied theory physicist with complementary training in numerical analysis. His PhD work was on modelling nucleation and growth of clusters on surfaces in the early stages (submonolayer regime) of homoepitaxial Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE). During a short postdoc (June-December 2000) at Emory University, he investigated the use of conformal mapping techniques in problems related to diffusion limited aggregation. In 2001 he moved to the Max-Planck-Institute for Metal Research, Stuttgart, Germany, joining as a research scientist the department of "Inhomogeneous Condensed Matter" lead by Prof. Dr. Rer. Nat. Siegrfried Dietrich. The research in Stuttgart focused on microscopic models for the dynamics of monolayer films, with a view on applications connected with nano-fluidics, and on the theoretical description of reactive adsorbates on catalyst-decorated substrates. Mihail joined the Ian Wark Research Institute at the UniSA in 2007.Notes
