Department of Physics and Astronomy

The Department of Physics and Astronomy is an academic unit focused on studying the fundamental properties of matter, energy, space, and the universe. It explores how physical laws govern the behavior of everything from tiny particles to vast cosmic phenomena. Faculty and students conduct research, teach courses, and develop technologies related to areas like quantum mechanics, astrophysics, and material science. The department aims to deepen our understanding of the natural world and universe, often collaborating across disciplines and applying discoveries to real-world challenges, from developing new materials to understanding cosmic origins.
