Location & approach

By car

The campus of the Technical University of Dortmund is located near the freeway junction Dortmund West, where the Sauerland line A45 crosses the Ruhr expressway B1/A40. The Dortmund-Eichlinghofen exit on the A45 leads to the South Campus, the Dortmund-Dorstfeld exit on the A40 leads to the North Campus. The university is signposted at both exits.

By bus and train

The "Dortmund Universität" S-Bahn station is located directly on the North Campus. From there, the S-Bahn line S1 runs every 20 or 30 minutes to Dortmund main station and in the opposite direction to Düsseldorf main station via Bochum, Essen and Duisburg. In addition, the university can be reached by bus lines 445, 447 and 462. Timetable information can be found on the homepage of the Rhine-Ruhr transport association, and DSW21 also offer an interactive route network map.

The H-Bahn

One of the landmarks of the TU Dortmund is the H-Bahn. Line 1 runs every 10 minutes between Dortmund Eichlinghofen and the Technology Center via Campus South and Dortmund University S, while Line 2 commutes every 5 minutes between Campus North and Campus South. It covers this distance in two minutes.

By plane

From Dortmund Airport, it takes just over 20 minutes to get to Dortmund Central Station by AirportExpress and from there to the university by S-Bahn. A wider range of international flight connections is offered by Düsseldorf Airport, about 60 kilometers away, which can be reached directly by S-Bahn from the university's train station.

Porträt von Dominik Mitzel

Research

"The research work of my group is focused on experimental elementary particle physics with special emphasis on flavor physics. We try to find clues to new and previously undiscovered particles and interactions that could be helpful in answering the many open questions in particle physics. Famous examples include: What is the cause of the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe? Can we find possible candidates for dark matter? Why do matter particles exist in three copies with increasing mass? We attempt to shed light on the darkness of these questions by analysing data from the LHCb experiment. LHCb is one of the four large detectors at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). My group focuses on rare decays of hadrons with charm quarks, which are particularly sensitive to tiny contributions from unknown particles. Given the large charm production rate at the LHC, this opens up the possibility of looking for new phenomena in processes that have never been studied before."
