Doris Vollmer (born June 1964) is a german physicist. She holds a group leader position at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Germany and a professor position at the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz.

Biography and Scientific Work

Doris Vollmer studied physics at the Univ. of Bielefeld, the ETH Zürich (Switzerland) and the Univ. of Utrecht (The Netherlands). During her PhD (Univ. of Basel) and habilitation (Univ. of Mainz) she investigated structural and thermodynamic transition in microemulsions and binary mixtures. For her contributions to microemulsions she was awarded the 'H.-P. Kaufmann Preis' by the German Society for Fat Science.

During her Marie Curie Fellowship at the Institute of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Edinburgh (Great Britain), she investigated network formation in suspensions of liquid crystals and colloids.  In 2002 she joined the group of Hans-Jürgen Butt at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (MPIP) and became group leader in May 2003. In 2015 she obtained a professorship at the Physics Department of the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz.

Since 2009 her research has been mainly concerned with fundamental and applied problems in the wetting behavior of structured surfaces, in particular of superhydrophobic, superamphiphobic and slippery surfaces. Her work frequently combines synthesis of model structures, analysis of microscopic and macroscopic features with complementary experimental techniques and modeling by mean-field descriptions to gain a profound understanding of the central concepts of the wetting phenomenon under investigation. Currently, she is the coordinator of the EU funded Innovative Training Network (ITN) on  Lubricant Impregnated Slippery Surfaces (LubISS)
