Biophysics (PY75)
Our Physics Department has considerable strengths in many experimental and theoretical areas of current physics research, and our campus and general environment are particularly attractive. Our research effort is quite diverse, including condensed matter physics, elementary particle physics, plasma physics, astrophysics, biophysics, and nonlinear dynamics. In all these areas, we maintain a healthy balance of experiment and theory.
