Astrophysics, Particle Physics, and Nuclear Physics

The cluster is involved with the investigation of inflationary cosmology, and nuclear physics within the context of astrophysics such as nucleosynthesis in the early universe.

Head: Allan L. Alinea
Analytics, Complex, and Environmental Systems

The ACES Laboratory studies systems whose behavior and interaction are not simple sums of their components, such as granular materials, social, biological and environmental systems, using theoretical, experimental, and computational physics.
Chemical Physics and Materials Modeling

The cluster's mission is to perform world-class research on the properties of materials, working within the boundaries of solid state chemistry and condensed matter physics.
Condensed Matter and Statistical Physics

Theoretical work focused on quantum transport in nanoscale devices, non-equilibrium thermodynamics, electronic structure calculations, novel 2D materials, surfaces and interfaces, with experimental work centered on FTIR, XPS, and STM.
Materials Physics and Engineering

Utilizes experimental and computational techniques in designing and fabricating materials. In 2018, the Surface and Interface Research Group was recognized as the CAS Outstanding Research Team.
Optics and Instrumentation

Interests in the design and building of scientific instruments and devices for measurement and analysis, and robotics and automation for agricultural, environmental and various industrial applications.
Quantum Information and Foundations of Quantum Mechanics

We study the time-dependent aspects of quantum physics in terms of wavepackets, correlation functions, semiclassical methods.
