Welcome to the Department of Physics
Physics is the foundation of all sciences. It forms the backbone of all sciences. Physics is a basis for the development of many technologies. Physics studies the motion of matter, energy, and the forces that govern the universe.
The Department of Physics at the University of South Alabama offers a wide range of curricula and opportunities for the students to conduct a variety of research fields; condensed matter physics, material physics, optics, nuclear physics and elementary particle physics. Our undergraduate students participate in cutting-edge research that prepare them for diverse career paths; continuing on to their graduate studies or going to work in data-intensive of fields.
Our faculty at the Department of Physics are actively conducting research and collaborate with leading National and International facilities to drive groundbreaking research at facilities including the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (Mag-Lab), Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in US, and High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) in Tsukuba, Japan.
We invite you to explore and browse our website and join us.
