Research at TUM

Work at a molecular beam epitaxy plant at Walter Schottky Institute (WSI)

The research areas of the Physics Department cover a broad spectrum, going from the smallest elementary particles through biophysical systems to the properties of condensed matter.

A great advantage is the strategic location of the Physics Department, embedded in the Campus Garching and closely connected with several Max Planck Institutes and other research centres. The strength of its research evidences in the successful participation in collaborative research centres, transregios, excellence clusters and relevant rankings.

Research areas

Nuclear, Particle and Astrophysics
Nuclear, Particle and Astrophysics

(Spokesperson Prof. Stephan Paul.)

The study of the smallest constituents of matter, the fundamental interactions and symmetries, which have played a major role in the origin of our universe.

Biophysics
Biophysics

(Spokesperson Prof. Andreas Bausch.)

Biological systems, from the protein up to living cells and their associations, obey physical principles. Their research opens up interesting physical questions and new perspectives not only in physics itself but also in medicine and nanotechnology.

Condensed Matter
Condensed Matter Physics

(Spokesperson Prof. Johannes Barth.)

When atoms get together, it becomes interesting. Basic research on solid state elements, nanostructures and new materials with surprising properties Materialien finds applications such as lasers, solar cells, superstrong magnets or biosensors.
