Welcome to the research group for organic electronics. The group has been established within the Theory Department of the Max-Planck-Institute for Polymer Research in September 2005.

Our research focuses on combining quantum, atomistic, and coarse-graining techniques in an approach able to study materials and geometries used in organic electronics. As test systems, we study mesophases of hexabenzocoronenes and perylenes and their derivatives, and several classes of conjugated polymers.

We are also working on several other topics of soft matter physics (polymers, colloids, nematic liquid crystals). We mainly employ simulational and numerical methods.
