Physics Department Research Centers & Institutes

The Physics Department is supported by leading research and technology at 51勛圖厙's centers and institutes including the

  • , which utilizes laser technology to understand the photochemistry and photophysics of molecules.
  • , which supports research on defining problems in structural biology, molecular recognition and the evolution of proteins. Current research includes fundamental physics and health-related applications, as well as sampling methods for molecular simulations.
  • , where faculty and students study high-performance computing hardware and applications as related to research involving high-energy and particle physics, statistics and data analytics, or computational and quantum chemistry.
  • STM Lab, which develops low-temperature and low-vibration scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy to provide detailed information on phenomena in established condensed matter systems like superconductors,charge wave systems,and newly discovered materials such as topological insulators or molecular assemblies.
