The Physics Department belongs to the School of Applied Mathematical and Physical Sciences of the National Technical University. All other Schools are Engineering ones.

Teaching: Undergraduate physics courses to the students of the School as well as introductory physics courses to the students of all other Engineering Schools. Postgraduate physics courses leading to M.Sc. and Ph.D. diplomas.

Research: Condensed Matter Physics, Solid State Physics, Lasers, Dielectrics, Atomic and Molecular Physics, High T_C Superconductivity, Nuclear Phyics, High Energy Physics and Elementary Particle Physics.

The experimental group on High Energy Physics is mainly engaged in the ATLAS/LHC experiment at CERN.  It is responsible for the construction of the muon chambers. There is also involvement in the AUGER project. The theoretical group activities span from Branes and String Theories and Finite Gauge Theories to String Phenomenology, GUT and Lattice Gauge Theories.
