Physics
About Us
The Faculty of Physics provides research opportunities to the students in a wide variety of topics and specializations in fundamental and applied physics. Educational programs in this faculty provide the means to the students to immerse themselves into fundamentals of the nature, and cutting-edge technological innovations.
Our History
Physics, as a subject concerned with the observation and understanding of all basic phenomena in the categories of mater and energy, forms the basis of all the other natural sciences right up to life sciences and medicine as well as the bases for engineering and technology. The Faculty of Physics interests mainly revolve around fundamental and applied physics (with more emphasis given to the latter) in a wide variety of topics and specializations. The Faculty members and students work on problems where extreme conditions may reveal new behavior; from cosmology (the cluster of galaxies or the entire universe) to elementary particle physics; from collisions of nuclei at low energy to the effects of interaction of radiation with matter which are important to industrial and medical applications; from individual atoms to unusual materials, such as high temperature super conductors and those that are important to micro-electronics to nanotechnology and biology.
