Biography
Andreas Hanke wrote his diploma thesis with Prof. W. Zwerger at the Physics Department of the Ludwig Maximilian University Munich, Germany, on a topic of mesoscopic quantum systems. In his Ph.D. thesis with Prof. S. Dietrich at the University of Wuppertal, Germany, he studied critical Casimir forces between colloidal particles. After postdocs at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA, Oxford University, UK, and University of Stuttgart, Germany, he joined the faculty at the Physics Department of the University of Texas at Brownsville. He is now Professor at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. His areas of research are mesoscopic quantum systems, Casimir effect, and biological physics. He has published more than 40 papers.
