School of Engineering and Physical Sciences · Physical sciences
Staff in the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences conduct cutting-edge research in fundamental and applied mathematics and physics, ranging from pure mathematics to applied nano-science at the interface between biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics. The School collaborates with top research institutions in Germany, Japan, Norway, the Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, and the USA. Our astrophysics research deals with some of the most complex structures in our Solar system, such as planetary rings around Saturn. An emerging direction is also an investigation of disks around exoplanets and potential moon formations which could support life. Students are supported and encouraged to submit papers to international scientific journals, present findings at conferences, and share knowledge with colleagues across the University.
