The biophysics research activitites range fram basic studies of
the structure and functionality of complex biosystems to applications in medical diagnostics
and therapy. In particular the groups in the institute work on
massively parallel analog
circuits in VLSI technology, the
development of high resolution light microscopy
and relatedimage processing software
and
biomedical optics.

A broad spectrum of research topics in the areas of ultra-cold quantum gases, surface science,
solid stat physics, and cryogenic particle detection are investigated currently. The activities include both fundamental and applied research.
Main projects are the investigation of the
dynamics of complex condensed matter systems, the
spectroscopy of nanostructures, the
investigation of matter waves, the
development of cryogenic particle detectors and the
study of condensed matter at ultra-low temperatures.

The experimental particle physics groups are using the large scale
accelerator facilities available at the European laboratories
DESY (Hamburg) and
CERN (Geneva).
The ATLAS group at CERN will use protons at the highest available
kinetic energies to access new physics phenomena.
The
H1 group
at DESY is performing research on the structure and the properties of the proton.
The technical developments done within the groups are focused on calorimetry
and dedicated trigger processor developments.
The ILC R&D group, in particular, is involved in research and
development for a highly granular, imaging calorimeter.
|
The activities range from fundamental a
spects of technical computer science to application spceific projects, that are often done in
cooperation with industry. The focus is on
designing and building very high performance trigger
multi processor systems in various areas including physics and industry.
