We explore and explain fundamental aspects of the world we live in, from the smallest subatomic particles to the whole Universe.
We are driven by outstanding research, and perform fundamental research in theoretical physics, applied research in materials science, and interdisciplinary research at the interfaces of physics and data science, physics and technology, and physics and chemistry.
Research-led teaching is important to us, and we regularly involve undergraduate students in research-led activities, such as final-year projects and summer research internships (SURF). We are based in XJTLU’s SIP North Campus, with modern laboratory facilities for teaching experimental physics.
We value public engagement and understanding of our research, physics and science, and organise outreach activities and lectures both on-site and in local schools.
We strive to create a friendly and welcoming, research-oriented atmosphere.
