Applied Physics

Applied physics is a research section with main focus on development of new microscopy techniques and sensors for application in biotechnology and material science. Here specific interest is the development of an opto-physical sensor for 3D imaging of samples containing nano-structures, using a modified pinhole camera. The developed sensor system is expected to determine and analyze automatically microscopic samples such as sediment samples containing diatoms from the national park Wadden Sea, in the vicinity of Esbjerg. Besides sensor development, the research group applied physics provides support for related projects containing advanced mathematics and physical principles. Here, active collaboration / joint projects are established with sampling research group (electron backscatter diffraction EBSD of crystalline materials exposed to mechanical stress) and the electronics and controlling research group (magnetic-levitation controlling system; virtual acoustic sensor and controlling system).

The research section in applied physics plays an active part in international student exchange by offering challenging student- and research projects, both of theoretical and practical nature.
