Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden

Professor Filippov is well known internationally for his outstanding research in the fields of theoretical and applied physics. He has made important contributions ranging from the atomic scale friction and planetary systems dynamics to the questions of biological evolution and ecology. Professor Filippov combines a large variety of mathematical methods with intuitive physical insight. In Germany, he intends to develop simulations of adhesion and friction behavior of various biological systems: from chameleons, clingfish to the snake skin. His models will be enhanced due to implementations of real physical parameters, obtained from experimental studies on biological systems.
