Applied Physics - Mastertrack Fluids, Bio and Soft Matter Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e)

Overview

The Applied Physics - Mastertrack Fluids, Bio and Soft Matter MSc programme from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) key facts:The systems range from water, air and oil, liquid crystals, glassy materials, and polymer networks to dispersions of man-made, bio-derived and biologically functionalized particles. Applications include molecular biosensors, lab-on-a-chip devices, inkjet printing, immersion lithography, responsive films, energy and heat storage, particle-modulated turbulence, self-healing materials, panel paintings, energy saving rubber tires, and pollutant distribution in the atmosphere and oceans.

Skills that will be developed

• a fundamental understanding of the physical principles of complex fluids and flows and soft materials from the nanometer to the meter scale

• familiarity with state-of-the-art experimental techniques,  advanced computational techniques and practical theory development

• the ability to apply abstract problem solving in practical, engineering and scientific contexts

Career opportunities:

There is constant demand from industry and research institutes for graduates who can work at the boundaries between physics, chemistry and biology. Graduates of the Applied Physics - Mastertrack Fluids, Bio and Soft Matter from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) can find employment in research and development laboratories in industry, for example at Philips, ASML, DSM, and Océ, or at research institutes such as TNO. You could also take up a position that makes use of your organizational and leadership qualities.
