Physics and Astronomy

In Physics and Astronomy, we push the boundaries of the unknown. Curiosity drives us to explore the fundamental laws that govern our world, the structures of the universe, and the building blocks with which we create new and better materials and energy systems. We conduct cutting-edge research in a creative and inter­na­tional setting, working alongside other academic insti­tu­tions at the very forefront of their fields. Science, learning and col­lab­o­ra­tion are at the heart of what we do, and we work in an environment where inclusion and excellence go hand in hand. We contribute with innovations that address current and future challenges in a changing world. We are deeply committed to training the engineers, physicists and astronomers of the future, and to sharing our knowledge and break­throughs with the academic community, society and industry.
