Overview

Our wide-ranging applied physics expertise gives you opportunities to develop specialist knowledge and honed research skills in your chosen area.

Under expert supervision, you join researchers already active in:

• advanced characterisation techniques
• applied geophysics
• biophysics and biological physics
• computational modeling of matter
• condensed matter
• functional coatings
• industrial and building acoustics

• nanomaterials and nanofluidics
• quantum information and quantum optics
• radiation and medical physics
• soft matter
• superconductivity.

This PhD may be undertaken in a project, thesis with publication or thesis mode. Prospective candidates should discuss these modes of submission with their potential supervisor/s.

Many of our research activities are conducted within these related research centres and groups:

• Applied Electromagnetics and Radiation Physics Research Group
• Theoretical Chemical and Quantum Physics Research Group.

You will also have access to our modern semiconductor clean rooms.

Career

You will be able to pursue an academic career in a university or be employed in senior leadership and management positions in government, scientific and industrial research laboratories.
