At the Department “Sustainable and Bio-Inspired Materials” (SBM) we explore nature’s hidden structures to design eco-friendly, functional materials. Ph.D. students, undergraduates, and postdocs from around the world work with Prof. Silvia Vignolini to investigate the fascinating architectures that animals, plants, and bacteria use to manipulate light. Our group is as diverse as it is interdisciplinary – combining physics, optics, chemistry, and biology to rethink materials – always driven by curiosity and team spirit.
