Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden

Professor Bejan is well known internationally for his pioneering contributions to modern thermodynamics. He also discovered what he calls “the Constructal Law” – a law of physics that predicts natural design and its evolution in biology, geophysics, climate change, technology, social organization, evolutionary design and development, wealth and sustainability. During his stay in Germany he expands his research by further exploring on the evolution and spreading of physics.
