Welcome to the Syracuse University Physics Department
The Department of Physics at Syracuse University has been educating students and carrying out research for over 125 years. Our faculty members, research associates, graduate students, and undergraduate majors are active in fields ranging from biological and condensed matter physics, through cosmology and particle physics, to gravitational wave detection and astrophysics. Here you will find connections to our current research and our closely linked work as educators.
Upcoming Events- Physics Colloquium
- Thursdays at 3:45pm in Room 202/204.
- Save the date! Picnic 2013
- Sunday, September 15, 2013 Green Lakes Reserve Shelter
| prev- Graduate Studies in Physics
- The graduate program at Syracuse University is designed to provide a stimulating environment for students to work closely with distinguished faculty members on leading-edge research projects.
- QuarkNet Outreach Program
- In this latest Outreach Program, local highschool Physics Teachers visit our labs to run exciting experiments with Professor Steven Blusk
- Quantum Computing
- In the Plourde Research Lab at Syracuse University, we study quantum coherence and vortex dynamics in microfabricated superconducting devices at low temperatures.
- Biophysics and Biomaterials
- Cellular life is a non-equilibrium phenomenon that requires the coordinated spatio-temporal organization of signaling networks and cellular structures. Prof. Martin Forstner's lab is looking at cells.
- Medium Energy Physics
- The Syracuse Medium Energy Physics group uses the spin property of elementary particles to study fundamental problems in nuclear physics.
- Gravitational-Wave Astronomy
- The SU Gravitational-Wave Group has constructed a 2300 core computing cluster which is used to study the waves emitted by colliding black holes and neutron stars.
- High Energy Physics
- Syracuse physicists are using the LHCb experiment to search for new physics using the weak decays of charm and b quarks.
