Learn more about our current research Theoretical Experimental

 Our department has a strong record of research, with faculty involved in both experimental and theoretical areas. Some areas of current interest are:

  Novel electronic materials

  Carbon nanotubes and nanotube arrays

  Theory of marginal Fermi liquids

  Optical and transport properties of low- dimensional condensed matter systems

  Novel superconductors.

Our faculty members form a cohesive research group, working on problems such as:

  The development of MEMS technology

  The theory of strongly correlated electron systems

  Developing nanostructured semiconductor devices for the generation of coherent terahertz radiation

There are also several collaborative efforts with colleagues from other institutions.
