In the Physics program, students lead research projects in condensed matter physics, materials science, theoretical physics, and biophysics. Our graduates gain extensive experience in research, critical thinking and essential communication, and technical skills.  This will prepare them for successful careers in industry, academic and other institutions, and organizations.  Hands-on use of our state-of-the-art equipment provides excellent training and gives our graduates a significant advantage in the job market.  Recent research activities have been geared towards applied material science, involving the study of amorous and quasicrystalline alloys, high-Tc superconductors in the form of single crystals as well as thin films, optical properties of semi-conductor oxides, fabrication of electrochemical membranes and computational studies of biological systems.
