Curriculum vitae
Stefan Semrau was born on January 16, 1979 in Solingen, Germany. He studied physics at the Technical University Aachen, Germany from 1999 to 2005, specializing in theoretical solid state physics/many-particle theory and biophysics. In 2002 he became a student scholar of the German Na- tional Academic Foundation and received a diploma in physics in 2005. His diploma thesis was entitled ”Electron transport through one-dimensional arrays of metallic nanoparticles”. Semrau was awarded the Springorum medal of the RWTH Aachen for the diploma exams passed with distinction and he received the Schoeneborn award from the ”Freunde und Foerderer der RWTH Aachen e.V.” for outstanding achievement in physics. After obtaining his diploma Semrau joined the Physics of Life Processes group at Leiden University, The Netherlands as a PhD student. Under the guid- ance of Prof. Thomas Schmidt and co-supervision by Dr. Cornelis Storm he worked on material properties of membranes and single molecule track- ing in living cells. The results of this work are presented in this thesis.
In 2008 he was the Leiden Institute Of Physics’ nominee for the ”Discov- erer of the year” of the faculty of science, together with Timon Idema.
During his 4 year stay in Leiden Semrau presented his work at numer- ous summer schools and conferences in the Netherlands, Germany, the UK, France and the USA. He assisted with the lecture ”Introduction to solid state physics”, lectured ”Introduction to quantum mechanics” and supervised several bachelor projects. In January 2010 Semrau will start a postdoctoral appointment in the Systems Biology lab of Alexander van Oudenaarden at M.I.T., USA.
