What will I learn?

Faculty in the Department of Physics and Astronomy have research interests ranging from the very small (atoms and nanomaterials) to the astonishingly large (galaxies and the universe itself). We study natural phenomena (star formation, Earth鈥檚 atmosphere, meteors), as well as various applications of physics in medicine (imaging, radiotherapy) and technology (solar cells, graphene, nanofabrication, optoelectronic devices, biomaterials).
