Chair of Materials Science and Nanotechnology

Wichtige Themen im Überblick

Prof. Gianaurelio Cuniberti ist seit 2007 Inhaber der Professur für Materialwissenschaft und Nanotechnik und Honorarprofessor an der POSTECH (Korea) sowie an der University of Alabama (USA). Seit 2012 ist er Co-Pfadleiter im Exzellenzcluster "Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden" (cfAED), stellvertretender Sprecher der "International Helmholtz Research School for Nanoelectronic Networks" (IHRS NanoNet) und seit dem Jahr 2013 geschäftsführender Direktor des „Center for Computational Materials Science“ (DCMS).

Teaching

We offer a broad range of lectures and courses on current research topics in the field of nanotechnology, molecular electronics, nanostructured materials, atomistic modelling and computational methods. More under nano.tu-dresden.de

Research

Our chair focusses on the multi scale understanding of "complex nano materials" from single molecular systems to bottom-up rich aggregates. The convergence of expertise from different disciplines (mostly physics, chemistry and biology) and the adoption of both theoretical and experimental investigation tools provide us with powerful instruments. In this way we can at best explore (mostly bio-inspired) complex supramolecular materials from their uni-molecular scale constituents to large scale networking.

Complex Nano Materials: The Chair of Materials Science and Nanotechnology

The bottom-up way: Building from the nanoscale

The main research and teaching activities of the chair are focused on concepts, quantitative methods and experiments for understanding and mastering truly nanoscale phenomena. Nanomechanics and nanoelectronics are the key issues of our fundamental investigations aiming at developing non conventional strategies for producing and exploiting new devices and materials with an intrinsic nanoscale complexity. Biological complexity suggests marvellous strategies on how to design bottom-up advanced materials. That is why a large part of our investigations involves biomaterials.

The chair is affiliated with the Institute for Materials Science (IfWW) and the Institute of Applied Physics (IAP).
