The Physics & Chemistry of Soft Matter department or Dullens Lab (part of Institute for Molecules and Materials) is an interdisciplinary research department specialising in colloidal science, combining expertise in chemistry, physics, and materials science.
Physics & Chemistry of Soft Matter
Department
Research
Our research interests lie in the field of soft matter, at the interface of chemistry, physics and materials science, with an emphasis on colloidal systems. We combine the development of new colloidal particles using synthetic chemistry with advanced imaging and micromanipulation
techniques to study a wide range of fundamental and complex problems in condensed matter science.

Our scientific contributions can be found in the Publications archive in Radboud Repository.
Education
The department is involved in the course Thermodynamics, which can be studied in the Bachelor's programmes Chemistry, Molecular Life Sciences, and Science. The aim of the course is to introduce the basic principles of thermodynamics and primarily how to use and apply these concepts in the context of (physical) chemistry, molecular life sciences, and science in general.
Join us
We welcome applications from enthusiastic and talented students and researchers at all academic levels with interests in chemistry, physics, and materials science, particularly in soft matter. Go ahead and explore some of our current work here. Postdoctoral researchers are invited to inquire about available positions and explore a variety of funding options, including EU Marie-Curie Fellowships, Feodor-Lynen Fellowships, and the Radboud Excellence Fellowship.
For more information and to discuss your potential role in our team, please reach out to Roel Dullens.
Academic staff
The department of Physics & Chemistry of Soft Matter includes PhD candidates, postdocs, professors, research technicians, and guest employees. Group leader of the department is Prof. Roel Dullens.
