Kristian Müller-Nedebock is professor in the Department of Physics at Stellenbosch University, South Africa. His main research specialisation is in theory of soft condensed matter physics and physics in biological systems, approached form both equilibrium and nonequilibrium perspectives. His work models the physical properties of networks of filaments, the role of polymer entanglements, and the role of active transport processes (as in molecular motors). Müller-Nedebock also has taught a broad range of physics at both undergraduate and graduate level.
