This is the best place to find information about our degree programs, faculty, undergraduate research opportunities in physics, physics club activities, and special announcements.
The
UW-L Physics Department offers both a Bachelor of Science degree
in Physics and a
Dual Degree in Physics/Engineering.
In addition, the Department features emphases in special areas:
Astronomy, Optics, and Computational Physics, as well as physics
degrees with Business or Biomedical Concentrations.
The Department has been very successful in obtaining external grants to fund its state-of-the-art laboratories and computer facilities. Undergraduate research opportunities exist in laser physics, nuclear physics, biomechanics, materials science or computational physics. The Department sponsors an active Physics Club and also conducts a weekly seminar series as well as a annual Distinguished Lecture series.
For further information please email the Department Chair, Dr. Gubbi Sudhakaran at gsudhakaran@uwlax.edu or call him at (608)-785-8431. We would happy to send a free copy of our brochure or schedule a visit to our department. Hope to hear from you!
