Nanobiophysics & Soft Matter

Nanobiophysics research focuses on interdisciplinary research in the fields of single bio-molecule manipulation, bio-diagnostics and the development and application of biological sensing devices (MH).

Soft matter research is performed in the area of physics of foams and related packing problems (SH) and includes experiments and simulations on non-linear rheology and shear-induced diffusion in foams and dense emulsions (MM). Topics in econo- and sociophysics are also investigated (SH).
