TU Dortmund (TUDO) is a leading German Technical University, located in the Ruhr region, and known for interdisciplinarity cooperation between the major four scientific areas (1) engineering and computer science, (2) natural sciences, (3) social science and (4) cultural sciences. The department of Physics excels in research on quantum effects in solids, hosting a DFG International Collaborative Research Center (TRR 160) with St. Petersburg University on coherent manipulation of interacting spin excitations. The Cinchetti Group of the Physics Department involved in SINFONIA focuses on molecular spintronics and on the femtosecond manipulation of the magnetic order in antiferromagnets, magnetoelectrics and two-dimensional electronic systems.
