Molecules & Materials (MM)
At the Department of Molecules & Materials (MM), we explore the fascinating world of molecules to create innovative materials that address global challenges in health, climate, and sustainability.
With our molecular perspective, the M&M department is the link between physics and health domain. Our researchers stand at the forefront of science, bridging the gap between fundamental molecular research and real-world applications.
Within the Department of Molecules & Materials we carry out cutting-edge research at the forefront of science, with a keen eye on potential applications of our work. This is evident from publications in highly ranked academic journals, but also from contributions of our scientists to conferences, symposia and interactions with the general public.
While all principal investigators are experts in their own research fields, with support from respected funding agencies, we aim for a collaborative effort to excel in our scientific and teaching activities in order to make an impact in the different domains recognized by the University of Twente (see graph below). The departments balances the research efforts along all faculty themes related to health, water, energy, safety & security, sustainable materials & processes and climate.
