About us
The department consists of approx. 90 people and is based on six groups:
- Biomedical & X-Ray Physics
- Cell Physics
- Experimental Biomolecular Physics
- Laser Physics
- Nanostructure Physics
- Quantum Electronics and Quantum Optics
Our research spans the full area of Bio-Opto-Nano
Our research is primarily experimental, often crossdisciplinary, and spans the full area of "bio-opto-nano". We have a good international standing in fields such as bioimaging, microscopy, compact, x-ray sources, x-ray imaging, ultrasonics for bio-applications, nonlinear optics, periodically-poled materials, lasers, nanophysics, spintronics and applied quantum physics. Joint facilities such as our Nanofabrication Laboratory and also our laser and bio-imaging facilities provide an excellent experimental foundation for state-of-the-art research.
Undergraduate and graduate studies
We give a large number of courses at all levels for engineering students. At the undergraduate level we teach basic physics while on the Masters and graduate level our courses focus on the "bio-opto-nano" areas. In addition, we teach Optics for the Optometry education given at Karolinska Institute.
