Jun. Prof. Khoromskia joins us at the SoN and the Institute for Theoretical Physics (ITP) as a new group leader. Her research in theoretical physics, investigating the physical processes in biological, soft matter, is supported by the NRW returning scholars grant 2023 in the area “Materials Science”. Her group will focus on development and simulations of mechano-chemical pattern formation, transport processes and morphogenesis in biological cells and tissues, in order to understand the underlying biophysical principles of self-organisation in these complex systems.

In 1925, physicist Werner Heisenberg published a seminal paper in which he mathematically described quantum mechanics, the study of physics at the atomic and subatomic levels. 100 years later, the United Nations, the German Physical Society (DPG) and physics societies worldwide are celebrating this anniversary with the “International Year of Quantum Science and Technology.” In an interview with Christina Hoppenbrock, quantum physicist Professor Carsten Schuck from the University of Münster explains why classical physics is not enough to understand the world.

Join our young and ambitious scientific team! We are looking for strong support in nanofabrication to facilitate top-level research: oversee, maintain and support the operation of our nanofabrication tools, train our users, and collaborate with researchers on nanofabrication processes by developing and optimizing recipes.

Made possible by the “International Research Training Group Münster-Nagoya” (IRTG 2678), a Japanese-German exchange programme, Münster's expertise in the field of surface chemistry was put to good use: For the first time, the team succeeded in evaporating the molecules in order to analyse them solvent-free on surfaces.

After her post-doctorate, Ursula Wurstbauer received her habilitation at Munich Technical University. The appointment to a professorship of Nanoelectronics at the University of Münster followed in 2019. Her working group – around 20-strong – aims to understand the fundamental properties of materials: for example, how charge carriers and photons in solids behave, and how a material’s properties can be controlled externally.
