Research Groups
|
Astronomy: Members of the astronomy group have interests in the structure and evolution of close binary stars, VLA radio observations of dwarf galaxies, and multi-frequency observations of quasars and active galactic nuclei. Biophysics: Experimental studies of temporal processing in the human eye; theoretical and computational studies of protein folding, protein-protein interactions, and laser effects on biological tissue. Experimental Nuclear Physics: An experimental group exploring the quark and gluon substructure of matter at accelerators including the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. Laser and Optical Physics: An experimental group studying atom optics and quantum optics. Research projects include laser cooling and trapping of rubidium atoms, dark-hollow-beam manipulations of cold atoms, and nonlinear optical phenomena manifested by atomic coherence and interference. Medium Energy and Nuclear Theory: A theoretical group working in weak interactions, nuclear astrophysics, nuclear reactions, and lattice field theory of QCD. Physics
Education Research: The FIU Physics Education Research Group conducts a
coordinated
program of research, curriculum development, and, instruction to
improve the teaching and learning of physics. |
