Research
Researchers at the Institute for Mathematics, Astrophysics and Particle Physics (IMAPP) conduct fundamental research in mathematics, astrophysics and high energy physics. The institute places significant emphasis on the exploration of interdisciplinary subjects that intersect these scientific domains and is performed within national and international collaborations.
Astrophysics
Research of Astrophysics is concentrating on the subject of high-energy astrophysics. The Universe forms a physics laboratory, in which events take place which cannot be recreated here on Earth and which are settled at the edge or even beyond the edge of our knowledge of physics. Exploring this edge and understanding how highly energetic astrophysical phenomena are caused and affect their surroundings is the main objective.
High Energy Physics
The research department of High Energy Physics performs exciting, cutting-edge theoretical and experimental research in Quantum Fields, Particles and Gravity. Its scientific aim is to understand the ultimate building blocks of matter, space, and time and the fundamental laws governing their interaction at extremely high energies and short distances, beyond currently established theories.
Mathematics
Mathematics inspires and fascinates, and at the same time makes an enormous contribution to society. The mission of the Mathematics department is to carry out research in mathematics at the highest scientific level. Research is based around Applied Mathematics, Applied Stochastics, Mathematical Physics and Pure Mathematics.
Projects
Researchers of IMAPP are involved in many research projects. View the latest added projects below and discover the complete list of projects.
-
Africa Millimetre Telescope
Astronomers from Radboud University have teamed up with the University of Namibia to realise a millimetre-wave radio telescope in Africa, to provide an essential link in the network of telescopes around the globe known as the Event Horizon Telescope.
-
BlackGEM telescope array
When neutron stars and black holes collide, gravitational waves are released and a hot luminous ring of gas is created. BlackGEM is a series of telescopes that helps researchers to more accurately determine where a collision has occurred.

Alliander cases at mathematical PhD modelling camp
In the PhD Modelling camp, PhD students and Postdocs from various backgrounds work for a week on problems posed by industry.
Data Management Policy
The Research Data Management (RDM) policy helps to make conscious decisions about research data and keeping data safe. For more information, please contact the institutional data steward: Andrew Levan.
Publications
IMAPP publishes in a variety of peer-reviewed scientific journals. On the platform Radboud Repository, you can find all publications as well as PhD dissertations of our researchers.
