Dynamics of surfaces, interfaces and nanolayers

Prof. dr. Joost Frenken’s research interests are centered around diffusion, phase transitions, chemical transformations and other dynamic phenomena that occur at surfaces and interfaces of materials. These phenomena take place on the nanometer scale of atoms and molecules and often are also noticeable in the behavior of materials on much larger scales. This discipline forms a basic ingredient of practically all nanotechnology. This link between science and technology provides the field with a high potential for valorization.
