Welcome...
Welcome to the UTPA Department of Physics and Geology. We invite you to
explore what our department can offer you. The department has undergone dramatic
transformations within the last few years including a complete restructuring of
our degree plans and curriculum, the addition of new faculties, and the
development of successful research programs.
Our department has a firm dedication to education and providing quality one on
one personal interaction. Low student to faculty ratios in all upper divisional
courses help to provide individual attention not always found in large
universities. We pay a great deal of attention to the needs of our
students and try to
help our students from the beginning to graduation and beyond. Many of our
students go on to pursue successful careers in science or teaching.
Our department faculties are very energetic and enjoy teaching at all levels as
well as being active in their research fields. The department is involved in a
number of different disciplines in Physics and Geology. Current research areas
include computational chemistry on biophysics, fuel cell technology, material
science of novel electronic, optical, and magnetic systems, laser-matter
interaction, electro-optical properties of liquid crystals, photonics, Physics
Education, quantum optics, nanomaterials, nuclear
physics, atomic physics, geology and geophysics.
If you are interested in what we can offer you please feel free to contact us.
