DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS


"From the nano to the macro, we seek to understand the origin of the universe,
the ultimate structure of matter, and the fundamental laws that govern the
physical world. I'm proud to belong to an excellent and diverse community of
faculty, postdocs, and students who are opening new scientific frontiers and
developing ground breaking quantum technologies." Nitin Samarth, Department Head

Physics undergraduate program

Develop a broad, deep, and rigorous knowledge of the quantitative problems that
govern the natural world.

Start now

Intellectually challenging and exciting graduate research alongside leading
physics faculty full of talent, enthusiasm, and imagination.

Start now
Physics graduate program
Penn State physicists are at the frontiers
of knowledge about the natural world

According to a multi-year study released by the National Research Council (NRC)
in 2010, we are in the top echelon (10-15) of physics departments in the United
States.

The 2018 US News graduate program rankings listed our gravitational
physics/cosmology group and condensed matter physics group as #9 and #11,
respectively.

The physics department is also committed to fostering an inclusive community
where people of all backgrounds feel safe and supported.



Physics Department

The physics faculty is a community of innovative and inspiring research and
instructional physicists at the frontier of science.


FEATURED FACULTY

ZHEN BI

Assistant Professor of Physics

My group focuses on theoretical condensed matter physics. We are interested in
exotic quantum many-body phases such as topological phases of matter, and novel
quantum phase transitions beyond conventional paradigms, as well as experimental
platforms that exhibit these remarkable phenomena.

STEPHANIE WISSEL

Assistant Professor of Physics

My group focuses on detecting the highest energy neutrinos through radio
detection experiments like PUEO, BEACON, ARA, and RNO-G.

ZOLTAN FODOR

Professor

The main goal is to solve quantum field theory in the non-perturbative, strongly
interacting regime. To that end, analytic and numerical techniques are applied
on space-time lattices.

Jainendra Jain elected to the National Academy of Sciences

Penn State physicist Jainendra K. Jain has been elected as a member of the
National Academy of Sciences.


From genes to memes
From genes to memes: Algorithm may help scientists demystify complex networks

A new algorithm can serve as a more effective way to analyze models of
biological systems.

Elusive mergers of black holes with neutron stars confirmed for first time

For the first time, a research team including Penn State astronomers have
detected a collision between a black hole and a neutron star.


The physics department joins a multi-institution network that promotes equity,
diversity, and inclusion in the physics community.
