Welcome!
Our institute offers the opportunity to delve deep into the fascinating world of minerals, crystalline matter and geomaterials.
Among other things, we deal with the structure and properties of crystals, the development of modern materials, and the origin and treatment of gemstones. The protection of the environment through the sustainable use of mineral resources, the knowledge of mineral components as energy or CO2 storage materials, but also the understanding of minerals under extreme conditions - such as in the interior of planets - are also part of our exciting research areas.
If you are interested in the natural sciences and are enthusiastic about the combination of research, technology, and environmental protection, then you are very welcome at our institute!
