Ultimately, all processes in our Universe are governed by the laws of Physics. Physics offers an incredible variety of challenges and opportunities to explore the richness of nature. Whatever your interests, our department has a broad range of offerings. Most advances in the past century were only possible due to ground breaking work in Physics.
Typical examples are the transistor and the integrated circuit.
Other examples include the vast improvements in imaging technology in medicine and of course the laser, which has produced a huge impact on our everyday life - from CD technology to eye surgery. The Center for Theoretical Physics fosters the growth of existing programs and the development of new areas of research such as superstring and super gravity theory. Research areas include elementary particle , nuclear , atomic , quantum optical , condensed matter , many body and atmospheric-oceanic physics. Experimental nuclear physics is conducted at the Cyclotron Institute . Special areas of applied physics also are offered.
