The University of Gothenburg tackles society’s challenges with diverse knowledge. 56 000 students and 6 600 employees make the university a large and inspiring place to work and study. Strong research and attractive study programmes attract scientists and students from around the world. With new knowledge and new perspectives, the University contributes to a better future.

The Department of Physics at the University of Gothenburg is located on the main campus of Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, with a total of some 80 employees. The communication routes are good both nationally and internationally. The researching focuses within the fields of Atom- and Molecular Physics, Condensed Matter Physics and Spintronics, and Complex Systems and Biophysics and is performed in an international environment with extensive national and international collaborations. The education programs at the Department include Bachelor- and Master programs in Physics, physics teacher-training programs, as well as outreach courses in Physics aimed for the general public. Gothenburg Physics Centre is a close collaboration with four other departments within the Faculty of Science and Chalmers University of Technology creates an innovative environment for all researchers and students at the department.

Alexandre Dmitriev’s research group operates at the junction of nanoplasmonics and nanomagnetism (the fast emerging research field called ’magnetoplasmonics’ or ‘nanoscale magnetophotonics’), producing magnetically-controlled optical platforms and studying the influence of nanoplasmons on magnetism. The group is also active in developing new bottom-up nanofabrication methods, organic photoswitches-nanoantennas strong coupling and in research on nano-photovoltaics.
