Research and research groups

These research groups study light, semiconductors and nanoscale materials for applications in communications, sensing, energy and quantum computing. The groups combine fundamental research with device development, supported by Micronova’s nanofabrication facilities.

The following research groups cover antennas, wireless sensors, RF/analog/digital integrated circuits, and millimetre-wave and THz technologies. Their work advances efficient wireless communication, precision measurement, and medical imaging.

This cluster of research groups brings together radio astronomy, space physics, and space technology, studying celestial objects at radio frequencies and numerically modelling space plasmas and their interactions with weakly magnetized bodies. Our researchers also develop modelling tools to interpret solar-wind interactions, and contribute to instruments and technology for European Space Agency missions.

These research groups span computational electromagnetics, antenna simulation and optimization, electromagnetic materials, and remote sensing, alongside designer materials and devices centered on metamaterials and metasurfaces. Their work connects fundamental electrodynamics with functional devices across scales and frequencies, exploring photonic crystals, nanoscale magnetics, nonreciprocity, machine learning–assisted inverse design, and advanced optical components to create materials with tailored properties and novel functionalities
