Lucie Tajčmanová is a full Professor at the Institute of Earth Sciences at the Heidelberg University (Germany) since October 2018, leading the ‘Mineralogical and Petrological processes’ group. She implements multidisciplinary approaches to investigate a wide spectrum of coupled chemo-mechanical processes in rocks including field-based studies, deformation experiments and numerical modelling. Her aim is to establish a new perspective to the above mentioned processes and provide new quantitative and physically-based tools for interpreting common structures and microstructures in rocks.
Prior to the Institute of Earth Sciences in Heidelberg, she was at the ETH Zurich (2011-2018) leading the group of Petrology of Lithospheric Processes. She was awarded by prestigious Humboldt fellowship, Marie-Curie fellowship and an ERC starting grant.
