From the chair:
Development efforts spanning several decades have established the University of Massachusetts Lowell’s Physics Department as a leader in materials science, device-fabrication techniques and source/detection technologies. Our faculty direct externally funded centers and conduct pioneering, cutting-edge research in nuclear physics, radiation science, terahertz technologies, advanced materials, photonics device fabrication techniques, and biomedical photonics applications.

With our philosophy of "Establishing the Foundation of Physical Insight for Emerging Technologies in Every Student," our faculty continue to search for and recruit select groups of students interested in continuing their studies in the aforementioned areas of research. Graduates who wish to learn more about the exciting research should download our new brochure "Investigating Emerging Technologies" (pdf), and contact me to discuss why the Physics Department at the University of Massachusetts Lowell is the place for emerging technology research.
