Department Information
The Department of Physics is a medium-sized department in the College of Arts and Sciences (The College), composed of 35 professors, about 100 graduate students, and an undergraduate Physics major population that has doubled in number in the past five years. We have a strong academic program offering undergraduate degrees (B.A., B.Sc.) and graduate degrees (Ph.D., M.A.T., M.S.). The Department of Physics is part of The College of Arts + Sciences, the oldest and largest academic division of Indiana University.
These are extraordinary times in physics, with the development of new tools for observing the universe and testing its fundamental laws. Here at Indiana University, we investigate new materials with exotic properties, make use of innovative technologies based on those materials, and gain an emerging ability to control entangled quantum-mechanical systems.
Our faculty and students engage in research that leads discovery in the many areas, both theoretical and applied. We look at the interactions of many bodies as part of condensed matter and material science, study subatomic particle physics, and apply the tools of physics to biological systems. We examine the behavior of many charged particles as part of accelerator physics, and explore astrophysical systems.
Our world-class faculty strives to develop a strong teaching and research environment, and the positive atmosphere in our department fosters learning and research in several disciplines of physics. We currently have nationally ranked groups carrying out research in particle physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics, cosmology, condensed matter physics and material science, biophysics, and accelerator physics. Research activities are also channeled via institutes and centers such as the Nuclear Theory Center, the Center for Spacetime Symmetries, and the Center for Exploration of Energy and Matter (CEEM), housed at the Multidisciplinary Engineering and Science Hall (MESH, formerly the IU Cyclotron Facility).
