Kirchhoff Institute of Physics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kirchhoff-Institut für Physik (Kirchhoff Institute of Physics), built in 2002, is a research institute located in Heidelberg, Germany. It shares faculty with the physics and astronomy departments at the University of Heidelberg. The institute is named after Gustav Kirchhoff, who collaborated in Heidelberg in 1854 with Robert Bunsen in spectroscopic work.
The scope of its research is broad. Many projects exist, from low temperature physics and neuronal information processing to surface physics.
Facilities include (apart from several laboratories) a cleanroom, an ASIC labor, an experimental hall and, as it is also serves undergraduates, there are 2 auditoriums with a capacity of over 300 people, several seminar rooms and a CIP pool. Current director is Prof. Dr. Christian Enss.
