We are working in the field of modern biophysical chemistry and are especially interested in biomolecular and biomimetic processes. Our area of expertise consits of microscopy, e.g. to visualize single molecules, and ultra fast spectroscopy.
Approval of the PhoenixD Cluster of Excellence, with Prof. Dr. Peter Jomo Walla serving as one of the applying Principal Investigators. More information about the Cluster of Excellence can be found here and here.
