Research Groups

Astrophysics (Astro)

Astrophysics (Astro)

Focussing on massive stars, star formation, interstellar and circumstellar processes, astrochemistry, cosmology, galaxy formation and evolution, extra-solar planets, atmospheric physics and instrumentation.

Atomic, Molecular, Optical and Positron Physics

Atomic, Molecular, Optical and Positron Physics (AMOPP)

The physics of molecules and quantum systems, quantum information, ultracold atoms and molecules, ultrafast laser spectroscopy and strong laser interactions, positrons and positronium interactions with matter.

Biological Physics (BioP)

Biological Physics (BioP)

The BioP group probes the physics of biological systems and of underlying properties of soft matter, including both experimental and theoretical work.

Condensed Matter & Materials Physics (CMMP)

Condensed Matter & Materials Physics (CMMP)

Through both experiments and theory, we cover a wide range of topics; from quantum information processing to the underlying mechanisms of smell, and from superconductivity to radiation damage in materials.

High Energy Physics (HEP)

High Energy Physics (HEP)

The underlying nature of the physical universe, and the forces and laws that govern its development, from the first moments of the big bang, through to the present day, and far into the future.
