Department of Physics & Astronomy,
School of Arts & Sciences,
University of Pennsylvania (UPenn)

The University of Pennsylvania Department of Physics and Astronomy combines world-leading science with the intimate faculty-student community unique to small departments. Research is in three broad categories, which include experimental and theoretical work: Condensed Matter Physics, which includes work in hard and soft condensed matter, quantum materials, biophysics, and living matter; Astronomy, which includes work in dark energy and dark matter, galactic observations and modeling, and extrasolar planet searches; and Particle Physics, which includes work in higgs and SUSY searches at ATLAS, low- and high-energy neutrino physics with experiments like SNO+, T2K, and DUNE, string theory and phenomenology, broad and deep explorations of field theory, and cosmology.
