Research institutes at the Faculty of Science
Researchers at API seek to understand the universe, the objects in it and their history. They test the laws of nature and find new laws.
HIMS performs internationally renowned chemistry research, curiosity-drven as well as application-driven, within four recognisable themes. Computational Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Synthesis & Catalysis and Molecular Photonics.
IBED aims to increase our understanding of the diversity and dynamics of ecosystems, from the molecular and genetic level to the entire ecosystems. How do organisms interact with each other and with their non-biological environment?
ILLC studies the processes involved in the encoding, transmission and comprehension of information. The concept of 'information' is given a broad interpretation, encompassing not only the characteristics of formal languages and information flows in natural language processing, but also human cognitive activities, such as reasoning and listening to music.

The IoP covers a broad spectrum of both experimental and theoretical physics. Topics range from string theory, particle physics and astrophysics, to hard and soft condensed matter and quantum computing.
The Informatics Institute performs curiosity-driven and use-inspired fundamental research in computer science involving complex information systems at large, with a focus on collaborative, data driven, computational and intelligent systems.
The KdVI advances the science of mathematics, both in its theoretical and applied aspects, and aims to stimulate the application and appreciation of mathematics in other academic disciplines and in society as a whole.
Research at SILS spans the biological processes in humans, plants and micro-organisms. The exchange of information and extension of research across disciplinary boundaries are key to how we work.
