Photonic structures in animals

We study the surfaces morphologies  in a range of insects and beetles to discover the relationship  between their stucture and optical appearance.

Plant Inspired Materials and Surfaces

We are stydying the how the appeanace of flowers is influences by the surface stuctures on flower petals, and the role these play for insect pollination.

Soft Matter Physics Group

The Soft Matter Physics Group studies the interplay of structure formation down to the 10-nm scale with a range of materials properties. These include energy materials for solar cells and batteries, biological optical materials, optical meta-materials, and bio-inspired mechanical and surface materials.
