   We have recently undergone a dramatic expansion, including the hiring of 7 new faculty members and development of world-class laboratories and computational network, which has propelled us into the forefront of research into novel electronic materials.

   We are a relatively small and closely-knit department, with a ratio of undergraduate majors to faculty of about 3:1. Thus students can expect ready access to faculty members for help with coursework, advising, or just an informal chat
