Professor Gerland conducts research on the interplay of biophysical and biochemical processes, devising models to explore biological functions and understand the factors that limit these functions. His focus is on the quantitative characterization of biomolecular systems, which are relevant to basic science, particularly within the framework of the Graduate School of Quantitative Biosciences Munich (QBM). Additionally, he applies his research in the realm of nano-biotechnology as part of the Nanosystems Initiative Munich (NIM) cluster of excellence. Gerland studied Physics at the Universities of Dortmund and Heidelberg, obtaining his doctoral degree in 1998 from the University of Heidelberg for his work on quantum mechanics of chaotic systems. He conducted his PhD research at the Max-Planck-Institute for Nuclear Physics, followed by a postdoc position at the University of Karlsruhe and the University of California, San Diego. In 2003, he started a junior research group at LMU Munich and was appointed to faculty at the University of Cologne in 2006 before returning to LMU Munich in 2008. In 2014, he began teaching and conducting research at the Technical University of Munich.
