Our research areas include surface physics, catalysis, materials physics, computational physics, plasma physics, nuclear physics, continuum physics, biophysics, luminescence physics, and quantum technology.

We use and develop state-of-the art instrumentation in our research labs and travel to large-scale international research infrastructures e.g. synchrotrons, neutron sources, and fusion devices.

In the last 5-year period, we have published ~1.500 publiations which so far have received more than 40.000 citations More than 20% of the papers are in the top 10% most cited category. See our publications here. 

Our DTU research centers collaborate across several departments at DTU. Topics include advanced microscopy and nuclear energy technology.

At DTU Physics we have about 100 PhD students engaged in our research sections and centers. Read more here about how it is to be a PhD student and explore your opportunities here.

Our research ideas and results are transferred into society through patents, start-ups, and via collaboration with industrial partners.
