Creativity is the essence of Science at Western. Engage your intellectual curiosity to recognize the deeper patterns formed from observations, experimentation, facts and probabilities.
Physics is a fundamental science that is basic to understanding the laws of nature. Our researchers have interests ranging from the very large (galaxies) to the very small (atoms and subatomic particles). We apply our techniques to the study of natural phenomena such as the earth's atmosphere and its relation to climate, the development of new materials such as nanoscale optoelectronic devices, and the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Our facilities include: the Purple Crow Lidar in Atmospheric Science; the Nanofabrication Lab, atomic force microscopy and positron beams in Materials Science; and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and X-ray computed tomography (CT) in Medical Physics. Physics at Western provides adaptable problem-solving skills that are sought by employers and easily transferred to other disciplines — indeed, physicists have made major contributions to nearly all fields of study.
