My name is Christian and I’m a Design Engineer at ASML, one of the largest manufacturer of chip-making equipment. I studied at the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg and hold a PhD in Physics from the University of Stuttgart. During my PostDoc at Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf I did research on self-organization and structure of active soft and granular matter.

Post mortem: Patterns?
In an earlier post, I explain why I would find it useful if researches could shed some light on the history and the circumstances behind their publications. So, this post is about my paper Christian Scholz, Gerd Schröder-Turk and Klaus MeckePattern-fluid interpretation of chemical turbulence, Phys. Rev. E 91, 042907 (2015) and why there might …

Post Mortem: Measureing Permeability of Microfluidic Porous Media
When you read a scientific publication, in particular papers in natural science, if you are not familiar with the circumstances of scientific reality (I mean what typically happens vs what idealy happens), you might come to the conclusion that the authors had a very specific idea of what they wanted to investigate, before performing the …
