Physics of Matter at the Nanoscale

Our research group expertise comprises synthesis, experimental characterisation and theoretical modelling of structure and properties of materials as well as their surfaces and interfaces at the nanoscale. The primary goal of our research is to provide fundamental grounds for design of novel and improved materials.

The unique combination of experimental and theoretical methods enables us to study a wide range of applications in the physical, chemical and biological sciences and engineering. Our current research involves studies of functional materials, including thin films and coatings, polymers, minerals, nanoporous materials, nanoparticles as well as biological materials, including proteins and biomembranes.

The research group has 4 main research themes:

• Materials Modelling and Simulation
• Condensed Matter Physics
• Advanced Coatings and Surface Engineering
• Soft Condensed Matter
