Biography

Professor Zare is a soil physicist focused on understanding the soil-related processes occurring at the soil-root interface, emphasizing the physical properties of soils that constrain life. His cornerstone research and teaching recognition highlight the critical role of physical soil properties in shaping the life of biota, soils, plants, and microorganisms. This interaction further facilitates exchanges with the surrounding soils. He began his academic journey in 2013 when he earned his Ph.D. in the Division of Soil Hydrology at Georg-August-Universität Göttingen. With a passion for soil biophysics, he continued his research as a postdoctoral fellow at the chair for four years. In 2017, he moved to the University of Bayreuth, where he was appointed as an academic lecturer at the Chair of Soil Physics. In September 2022, Professor Zare was appointed to the professorship of Soil Biophysics in Environmental Systems at the Technical University of Munich. His research interests include the physics of viscous bridges in soil biological hotspots and the facilitation of nutrient diffusion in the drying rhizosphere.
