Our research group focuses on understanding the physics of soft condensed matter. This is a huge and exciting field in modern science which involves different systems such as liquids, liquid crystals, colloids and polymers. These systems play a paramount role in nature and modern technology. Using various experimental techniques, we explore physical properties of soft and biological matter and investigate the way to design novel multifunctional and nano-structural materials. The research in our group combines areas such as physics, chemistry, biology and applied mathematics. We collaborate broadly with scientists from all over the world.
On this website you will find detailed information on ongoing research projects as well as offered courses and study programs. Students of physics and bio-system technology are welcome to take part in our research and conduct their BS and MS projects in our lab.

We are thrilled to announce the launch of a new Master Programme in Soft Matter, jointly offered by the Institute of Physics at OvGU and Merck. This innovative programme takes a unique approach, combining fundamental knowledge with interdisciplinary research that is geared towards practical applications. The collaboration between the Institute of Physics OvGU and the Electronics and Display Technology Group at Merck KGaA offers students unparalleled opportunities to explore the field of complex soft multifunctional materials and expand their horizons. If you are interested in pursuing the physics of such materials, then we invite you to join us at IfP, OvGU. You are welcome to start from the bachelor level too.
