Recent grants awarded to physics faculty
November 18th, 2024
Several members of the department faculty have received new external grants in recent months. …
Our faculty collaborate with undergraduate students, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and visiting scholars from all over the world. As part of training new generations of researchers, we provide a strong framework for interdisciplinary initiatives and partnerships with government and industry. Our community of researchers engage in experimental and theoretical research on Condensed Matter Physics, a broad field of physics that deals with the macroscopic and microscopic physical properties of matter. It attempts to understand the properties of matter from fundamental physical principles and is by far the largest field of contemporary physics. We invite you to find out more about the activities of our department by exploring the links provided on this page.
