Overview

Physics is the most fundamental science. It involves understanding the basic principles by which all things in the universe exist and operate. Therefore Physics is the foundation of other scientific disciplines. It is also the natural basis of all the technology disciplines such as electronics, engineering and computer science.

The Physics Department at The University of Tulsa focuses on small research groups, close collaborations, and extensive mentoring are the norm. Interdisciplinary activities are encouraged both in the department and at TU in general and with the National Laboratories (NREL, ORNL), Federal Agencies (NASA), Research Institutions (General Atomics) and Industry.

Degrees offered include Master's Degree in Physics and Master's Degree in Engineering Physics.

The department, chaired by Dr. George Miller, contains 8 faculty members and several postdoctoral associates with active research programs in a wide range of topics:

On the experimental side, faculty and students are engaged in research in the areas of:

  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Material Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Laser Spectroscopy
  • Plasma Physics
  • Optical Physics

On the theoretical side, faculty and students study:

  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Plasma Physics
  • Astrophysics
