Fundamental aspects of our work are experimental and theoretical studies of phenomena that occur on the smallest length scales and are governed by the laws of quantum physics. This ranges from the characterization of material properties to the development of new materials and electronic devices designed for future sustainable technologies.
More than 500 people from over 35 countries work at IFW Dresden. This international diversity, combined with expertise from chemistry, physics, engineering, and materials science, forms the foundation of our holistic, high-level research. We are strongly committed to training young scientific and technical talent, fostering early STEM education, and actively promoting equality, diversity, and a healthy balance between professional and family life.
