Education
editMetzler holds a Diploma (magna cum laude) degree in physics (1994) and a PhD (summa cum laude, 1996) from the University of Ulm. He performed postdoctoral research at Tel Aviv University with Joseph Klafter and Massachusetts Institute of Technology with Mehran Kardar.[4]
Academic career
editMetzler became an assistant professor at the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics (NORDITA) in Copenhagen in 2002. He later spend a period of time in Canada, where he was appointed Canada Research Chair in Biological Physics at the University of Ottawa and he moved to the Technical University of Munich as a professor. Since 2011, he is chair professor for theoretical physics at the University of Potsdam and is an Alexander von Humboldt Polish Honorary Research Fellow.[5][6]
