The IRMP develops research in various areas of Physics and Mathematics.
In Mathematics, research targets analysis, algebra, category theory, geometry, topology, mathematical physics and probability.
In Physics, research concerns fundamental interactions in particle physics and cosmology.
The topics of interest of our institute range from the systematic observation of our universe in the infinitely small and the infinitely large to the exploration of various and rich mathematical worlds. In addition to our research groups, the IRMP hosts the Cyclotro About
