Faculty of Science / Leiden Institute of Physics
The Leiden Institute of Physics (LION), consists of the Huygens-Kamerlingh Onnes Laboratory, the Institute-Lorentz. The Institute is located next to the other Science Institutes of the University in the Bio-Science Park, a situation that favours interdisciplinary research projects. Its main responsibility is the education and training in research in physics of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. In addition, it is responsible for the teaching of physics on the BSc and MSc level in the Faculty of Science at Leiden University.
The research done at LION can be divided into different domains:
- Theoretical Physics
- Quantum Optics and Quantum Information
- Biological and Molecular Physics
- Condensed Matter Physics.
The various research groups in LION have an outstanding international reputation. They offer an excellent environment for a highly recognised education in physics.
Ramya (Pennsylvania State University)
“At Leiden University, I worked with physics researchers on materials for computing applications. To have that opportunity as a freshman, it really taught me that you can get involved and make a difference early on”. Learn more about Ramya’s research: “Device for Injecting and Detecting Spin”
