prof. dr. ir. P.R. (Patrick) Onck

Hoogleraar

Expertise

Research in the Onck group aims at understanding the micromechanical and functional behavior of (biological) materials based on an accurate description of the underlying (bio-) physical mechanisms. Computational techniques (e.g. molecular dynamics, finite element methods and solid-fluid interaction techniques) are being used to explicitly account for the physical mechanisms at the relevant length scales.

Primary focus at the moment is on:
(i) Transport through the nuclear pore complex
(ii) Phase separation and aggregation of disordered proteins
(iii) Molecular chaperones in neurodegenerative diseases
(iii) Soft-robotic nature-inspired microswimmers and magnetic artificial cilia.
