Introduction to the Department of Physics
Our goal is to understand the laws of nature through studies on various scales: from nano to parsec. Besides being the heart of natural science, it provides the basis of modern technologies. Our department consists of 16 faculties being active in each field of research and it has two categories depending on the subjects.
Fundamental Physics: The research includes, but not limited to, elementary particles, gravity, astrology, nuclear physics, character of light, statistical physics and condensed matter theories.
Applied Physics through the advanced experimental technologies: Nano-tube, bio-membrane, spintronics, superconductors and transport properties.
