Doctoral studies in Applied Physics

Research in Applied Physics aims to apply the methods, models and approaches of physics in various fields of science, such as surface and molecular physics, biotechnology, lab-on-a-chip, organic electronics, self-organising materials, and polymeric and soft materials.

The research area covered by Applied Physics is related to applications of physics in biology, chemistry, medicine, life sciences, electronics, nanoscience, materials science and other fields.

Many projects in the area have a connection to life sciences. In this subject, PhD students are offered many possibilities to collaborate worldwide. Currently a large number of collaborative projects are carried out with a variety of research groups around the world, and with national and international industry.

The PhD studies are often conducted in collaboration with other divisions at the Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology (IFM), the Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences (BKV), the Department of Health, Medicine and Caring Sciences (HMV), the Department of Biomedical Engineering (IMT), the Department of Science and Technology (ITN), and the University in general. The intention is to offer PhD students with varying backgrounds an opportunity to graduate in a multidisciplinary environment.
