Research

schlosshauer-lab.jpgOur physics faculty members are engaged in original research, and physics majors are drawn early into collaborative research projects with the faculty.

Areas of faculty expertise include condensed matter, fluid dynamics, optics, ion beams, nonlinear dynamics, and quantum mechanics.

Students learn to think as physicists, not just work physics problems, and faculty welcome students’ curiosity, questioning, and new perspectives.
