Subject description

The PhD research subject Physical chemistry covers both fundamental and applied aspects, and deals with solid materials and soft matter.

The former includes battery materials, solid-state lighting systems, topological insulators, porous materials, ceramics, and glasses, while the latter focuses on liquid crystals, lipid membranes, interactions of biomolecules with surfaces, and nanoparticles.  These investigations are primarily targeting materials for applications in the fields of health and energy.
