PHYSICS AND ENGINEERING
The Physics and Engineering academic unit is home to the Optical Sciences Center for Applied Research (OSCAR), a major research center specializing in optical sciences and their broad applications. The center houses the Center for Research and Education in the Optical Sciences and Applications (CREOSA), an NSF-CREST center, and the Optics for Space Technology and Applied Research (O*STAR) Center funded by NASA MIRO program. Undergraduate and graduate (M.S. and Ph.D.) students with keen interest in, among others, optics, lasers, imaging, photonics, and space sciences are invited to apply to our programs with possibility to receive financial support, one-on-one faculty mentoring, training in state-of-the-art technologies, and opportunities for professional development.
