Research at Physics
The Department of Physics' core activities take place within the framework of six divisions. Our research profiles include basic research, biological physics, materials for energy applications, disordered systems, complex oxides, surface and nanophysics, and subatomic and plasma physics.
We provide a competitive advantage by linking top-level international and interdisciplinary academic performance in the areas of materials science, nanotechnology, life science and energy research with world-leading industrial research and development projects.
