MICHAEL GRUENWALD

Michael Gruenwald received his Master's degree (2005) and PhD (2009) working with Christoph Dellago at the University of Vienna, where he developed new computer simulation methods to study the microscopic mechanisms of structural transformations in nanocrystals. Using a Schroedinger postdoctoral fellowship of the Austrian Science Fund, Dr. Gruenwald joined Phill Geissler's group at UC Berkeley to study nanoparticle self-assembly, before he returned to Vienna as a Schroedinger postdoc. Dr. Gruenwald launched his independent career at the University of Utah in 2014 and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2020.
