We use cutting-edge tools and intellectual concepts from the physical sciences to tackle challenging questions from the life sciences.Our research spans multiple length scales from quantum biology
Our research community nurtures close to 150 research students, covering everything from nuclear physics and astrophysics to the physics of life. Join our rich and thriving academic community and
Our research broadly covers the following areas: Lasers and their applications Theory of condensed matter Experimental solid-state physics Astrophysics and gravitation Research is funded from a range
A PhD is the highest academic award for which a student can be registered. This programme allows you to explore and pursue a research project built around a substantial piece of work, which has to
This research involves investigation into the use of spaced repetition within physics higher education. In higher education, long-term memory is needed for students to have a sound platform of
We investigate the physics of soft matter systems – materials that include liquid crystals, polymers and biopolymers, glasses, composites, gels and colloids. Our work is primarily experimental; we
Fluids appear in a huge range of environmental and industrial applications. They exhibit a wide range of interesting phenomena, and the study of fundamental aspects of fluid dynamics is a traditional
The group conducts research into vibrations, dynamics of structures and acoustics. The main areas of research are nonlinear dynamics, structural health monitoring, active and passive noise and
