Applied Physics


The Applied Physics umbrella group works to change the way we live by bridging a fundamental physical understanding of nature and the applications of that understanding in the everyday world.  It covers condensed matter physics (CMP), the major branch of applied physics, as well as physics education research and biophysics.
