Our Mission: Exploring the World Through Light
The Abel group is engaged in research in the field of modern physical chemistry, biophysical chemistry, optics, and spectroscopic imaging. Our activities have the purpose of obtaining fundamental knowledge of matter (from smaller molecules up to polymers), to develop new molecular and analytical probes, and finally to use the knowledge to develop advanced analytical devices for industry and industrial applications.
