A robot built by students in the ED program.
Division of Physics and Electronics
The division of Physics and Electronics (FE) is multi-disciplinary and spans a vast range of subjects including theoretical physics, materials physics, automatic control and the design and production of electronics systems. Examples of ongoing research are high frequency (Ghz-THz) electronics, novel electronic components comprised of organic materials, bioelectronics, nanostructures for technical and medical applications, and photonic devices. Some members of the research group conduct research in physics didactics, which fits in well with the undergraduate education initiatives of the group.
In total, about 65 staff members are employed in the FE area. A little more than half of these are postgraduate students. The majority of the staff shares their time between research and teaching.

Head of division is Måns Östring, mans.ostring@liu.se.
Head of undergraduate studies is Amir Baranzahi, amir.baranzahi@liu.se.

2009-10-26 OrgEl i Eltidningen
I det senaste numret av Elektroniktidningen återfinns en populärvetenskaplig artikel som beskriver arbetet inom gruppen Organisk Elektronik. Arbetet har resulterat i en tryckbar transistor som kan drivas vid låga spänningar. Lars Herlogsson, Xavier Crispin och Magnus Berggren, alla vid ITN-LiU, har lyckats tillverka organiska kretsar vilka oscillerar vid frekvenser som är kompatibla med en rad olika tillämpningar inom distribuerad elektronik. Nästa steg tas nu att göra dessa kretsar helt tryckbara med vanlig inkjet-teknologi..
