Institute for Complex Molecular Systems
Mastering complexity requires a deep understanding on how matter – both natural and artificial – self-organizes into functional molecular systems. The Institute for Complex Molecular Systems (ICMS) of the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) was established in 2008 and brings together mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry and engineering to stimulate education and research in this emerging field of science. Interdisciplinarity is the core of ICMS; with the specialized input from leading specialists in different branches of science and engineering, new avenues are explored. The scientific agenda of ICMS is focused around the following topics:
- Construction of functional life-like molecular systems.
- Bridging the gap between natural tissue and artificial materials.
- Catalysis and challenges for future sustainability.
- Soft matter: formulation as a science-based technology.
- Particle systems and networks: getting to grips with complex interactions.
