About the M2D research group

Welcome to the Materials to Optoelectronic Devices (M2D) research group. The M2D group is an interdepartmental research group at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), active in the Departments of Applied Physics and Chemical Engineering and Chemistry. M2D is the successor of the Molecular Materials and Nanosystems (M2N) group. The new name was chosen to better reflect our future research profile and ambitions. M2D brings together researchers from different backgrounds and aims at establishing a coherent research and educational program on the physics and chemistry of functional materials and optoelectronic devices.
