What we stand for
Mission
The Department of Physics and Materials Science performs fundamental research oriented at the understanding of complex physical phenomena. We are particularly focused on advanced materials, quantum technologies, and biophysics to enable future technological revolutions.
Vision
Driven by excellence, our department aims to continue attracting world-leading scientists: ERC holders, FNR ATTRACT grantees, editors of prestigious scientific journals, fellows of learned societies, top-cited scientists, etc. By maintaining this sparkling pool of talent as the signature of our department, we continuously contribute to major theoretical and experimental research but also provide a unique experience to our students. We believe the results of our work will unravel future challenges and unlock new solutions.
Values
Scientific innovation
Every day our curiosity-driven research paves the way to the next scientific innovation. Excellence Our teams are lucky to count impactful and highly cited researchers among them. DPhyMS has been very successful in recruiting high-level international members.
Interdisciplinary research directions
We address complexity by combining the variety of our theoretical and experimental skills, and by collaborating with brilliant minds around the globe.
Sustainability
By studying both materials and living matter, we aim to contribute to a better future, including the necessary energy transitions.
