Technische Universität Dresden - Research Training Group 2767 „Supracolloidal Structures: From Materials to Optical and Electronic Devices“

The RTG 2767 aims to train a new generation of experts who will design materials made of supracolloidal structures from the drawing board to application in components. Supracolloidal structures are complex superstructures composed of different nanoparticles, similar to how atoms are linked to molecules. This results in innovative, exceptionally promising optical and electronic properties that go far beyond those of the individual building blocks. To date, these structure-property relationships of the assembled particles are not adequately understood. The technological visions of these new materials include novel solar cells, field amplification for highly sensitive spectroscopy, biosensing applications where complex detection processes are made simpler, and even on-site sample examination using smartphones. Participating institutions: TUD Dresden University of Technology (TUD), the Universität Leipzig, Leibniz Institute for Polymer Research Dresden, and the Helmholtz-Center Dresden-Rossendorf.
For TUD diversity is an essential feature and a quality criterion of an excellent university. Accordingly, we welcome all applicants who would like to commit themselves, their achievements and productivity to the success of the whole institution.
