All members of our group will be happy to help master’s students in their search for a degree topic, and supervise them during the master’s project (contact details can be found here).

Theoretical physics is about identifying the most important questions regarding Nature, and searching for the simplest answers:

• How did the universe evolve into its present form?
• What  are its most fundamental building blocks?
• Why are certain materials superconducting?
• Does life emerge from physical principles?

During the course of their degree, master students in theoretical physics will develop a critical sense towards identifying the most relevant aspects of physical systems, and understand our reality through mathematical modelling.
