Ulrich H.E. Hansmann’s Summary
Dr. Ulrich H.E. Hansmann is an Professor in the Department of Physics. He received his M.A. degree in philosophy, and his “Diplom” (equivalent to a M.S.) and Ph.D. in physics from the Freie Universität Berlin at Berlin, Germany.
Professor Hansmann has an active research program in the areas of biomolecular modeling, complex systems and global optimization techniques. He has published more than 160 papers in various journals and conference proceedings that received over the last four years between 180-250 citations annually. He has also presented numerous invited and contributed talks at international conferences and workshops. His work is sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. Dr. Hansmann advises currently three Ph.D. students.
His teaching interests include: Statistical Physics, Computational Physics, Bioinformatics and Biomolecular Modeling, Biophysics; and University Physics for undergraduate students. His teaching receives high marks in the student evaluations.
Professor Hansmann served in various committees in the Department of Physics including the advisory committee, graduate studies committee and undergraduate committee. He is often asked to write referee-reports for the National Science Foundation, The Wellcome Trust Fund, Petroleum Research Fund, and prestigious journals such as the Journal of Computational Chemistry, Journal of Physical Chemistry B, Journal of Chemical Physics, Biopolymers, Physical Review Letters, and the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
Dr. Hansmann is a fellow of the American Physical Society. He was a recipient of a MTU faculty scholarship award and various fellowships from research institutions such as DFG (Germany), JSPS (Japan), Academia Sinica (Taiwan) and FASP (Brazil).
