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.
