Research


The externally-funded research in the Department is focused in two principal areas: Soft Condensed Matter Physics and Molecular Biophysics. These areas were selected because they are well matched to the compact size of the Department of Physics. Reciprocally, the Department's size provides the opportunity for close interactions within and between the Groups, which are essential for rapid advances.



Research in semiconductor theory (Bajaj) is also pursued.
