Self Introduction
I am a physicist, my primary research interest is the role of the second law and objectivity in physical theories. I am working with weakly nonlocal and also relativistic fluids and solids and researching questions of objectivity and material frame indifference, too.
In ERI I will analyse the theoretical background of rock friction laws and look for possible mechanisms. The origin of relaxation and logarithmic jumps is the focus of the research.
