Overview

Physics has always remained and still is at the center of science and technology. The laws of physics that are reached through observations and careful experimentation find applications from the subatomic particles to astronomic formations such as stars and galaxies. On the other hand, the design of advanced technology materials, fabrication of semiconductor devices, the development of optical communication systems have all evolved as applications of physics.

Our department has both theoretical and experimental research activities. Quantum information theory, gravitation, and condensed matter physics are among our theoretical research interests. On the experimental research side, we have three advanced laboratories where we focus on solid-state lasers, optoelectronic, and nano-photonic materials and devices.

Physics graduate and doctoral programs provide students the opportunity to develop themselves in the following research areas:

Photonics & Laser Materials Microphotonics Nanophotonics Quantum Optics, Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics Statistical Mechanics of Biophysical Systems Cold-Atom Physics Gravitation, Cosmology, and Numerical Relativity Mathematical Physics Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Information Theory Theoretical High Energy Physics.

Programme structure

In addition to course work, students are engaged in thesis research. Every student is supervised by an advisor. The M.S. Program with Thesis option requires that the students successfully complete a minimum of 21 credits (with 7 courses) beyond a Bachelor’s degree.

In addition to the credit courses, students must complete the non-credit courses; PHYS 590 Seminar, ENGL 500 Graduate Writing, and TEAC 500 Teaching Experience.
