Physics
Welcome to Physics at Louisiana Tech University. The department offers both undergraduate and graduate programs. Faculty research interests include particle and nuclear physics, materials science, nano-scale self-assembly, and biophysics.
The Physics office is located in 316 Carson-Taylor Hall, on the main campus of Louisiana Tech. Faculty offices are in the Engineering Annex, Carson-Taylor Hall, Bogard Hall, and the Institute for Micromanufacturing.
The program provides students with an excellent opportunity to gain research experience in the Center for Applied Physics Studies (CAPS) and in the Institute for Micromanufacturing.
The research emphasis within CAPS is on particle and nuclear physics, modelling, and biophysics. There are several ongoing research projects in CAPS in association with national and international laboratories: the D0 experiment at Fermilab, LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory), the G0 and QWEAK experiment at Jefferson Lab, and detector development for the future International Linear Collider. Each of these is a collaborative effort involving top research laboratories at the national and international levels. The research emphasis in the Institute for Micromanufacturing is on biophysics and nanobiotechnology.
