Introduction
The Department of Physics maintains an extensive research program in all the major fields of Physics, including Astrophysics, High Energy Physics, Condensed Matter Physics, Electro-Optics, and Biophysics. Our graduates can be found throughout all the ranks of universities, research institutes, and industry in Israel.
The Physics Department conducts experimental and theoretical research in many cutting-edge areas of current interest.
The experimental fields include:
- Condensed matter
- Surface physics
- Lasers and quantum optics
- Cold atoms
- DNA biophysics and biological systems
- Medical Physics
- Nuclear physics and dosimetry
The theoretical fields include:
- Elementary particles and field theory
- Astrophysics and cosmology
- Condensed matter and statistical mechanics
- Nonlinear dynamics
The M.Sc. program in Physics offers a thesis (research) track and requires two years of full-time study. Outstanding students may enroll in the combined M.Sc.-Ph.D. track during the 2nd year of their M.Sc. studies.
