We are a department of seven full-time faculty, one part-time faculty (currently a University administrator), and four adjunct faculty who are dedicated to the education and growth of our students. Class sizes are small, and we know each of our students well. As an undergraduate department, we strive to share our interest and excitement in physics and engineering physics with them. Our faculty are involved in research in Applied Optics, Condensed Matter Physics (theory and experiment), Molecular and Nanoelectronic Device Modeling, Medical Physics, Nuclear and Particle Physics (theory), Polymer Physics, and Seismology. Believing in the value of research for undergraduates, we encourage our students to actively participate in faculty research groups.
