Saving this planet. Exploring the rest.

What is Engineering physics?

The Department of Engineering Physics integrates fundamental physics, mathematics, and engineering principles to solve societal problems—from cancer and heart disease to clean energy to space travel—while educating new generations of leaders.

We strive to be recognized for world-changing innovations in research and education at the interface between applied physics and engineering, across mechanics, plasma science and nuclear engineering.
