Institute of Chemical Physics

The Institute of Chemical Physics of the Faculty of Science and Technology (FST) brings together scientists for performance of interdisciplinary studies in physics and chemistry, as well as for collaboration with industrial companies to develop new technologies and promote their transfer to the national economy.

The Institute runs six research laboratories divided in 2 departments:

Department of Nanotechnologies (head of the unit – D. Erts) includes:

• Nanomaterials Lab (head D. Erts)
• Quantum Chemistry Lab (head Ģ. Barinovs)
• Nanooptics Lab (head J. Prikulis)

Department of Radiation Processes (head of the Unit – G. Ķizāne) includes:

• Radiation Chemistry Lab (head E. Pajuste)
• Electron Accelerator's Lab (head A. Vītiņš)
• Secondary Standard Dosimetry Lab (head O. Skrypnik)

The ICP is a member of the National Research Centre of Nanostructured and Multifunctional Materials, Constructions and Technologies, and, within the Centre, cooperates closely with: Faculty of Medicine and Life Sciences, Faculty of Science and Technology, UL Institute of Solid State Physics, Institute of Atomic Physics and Spectroscopy, Institute of Microbiology and Biotechnology, Riga Technical University, Institute of Physics, Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Nanotechnologies, Institute of Silicate Materials, Latvian Institute of Organic Synthesis.
