Faculty and Staff

Our program offers world-class faculty and state-of-the-art facilities. Currently the Department offers first-rate facilities in atomic force microscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, ultrafast optical spectroscopy and microscopy, terahertz spectroscopy, pulsed laser thin film deposition, thin film characterization, atomic layer deposition and mass spectrometry.

In 2009 the Department of Physics and Astronomy will relocate to a new, custom-made, high tech building which will expand the size of individual laboratories and further enhance the quality and global impact of the research carried out in the program.
