Distinguished Research Across Disciplines

Some of our faculty members are developing advanced theories to explain phenomena as grand as the origin of our universe and the nature of matter. Others are pushing the limits of physics to detect new fundamental particles and dark matter, as well as building incredibly sensitive devices based on quantum physics. Fear not if you are a beginner with a sense of curiosity; Brown physics will build you from the ground up. Our research is distinguished across the discipline – high-energy, cosmology/astrophysics, condensed matter and biophysics.

Empowering Curiosity: Inside and Beyond the Classroom

Every faculty member teaches both undergraduate and graduate courses. Learning is not limited to the classroom but also continues in state-of-the-art laboratories, workshops, conferences, and international and multidisciplinary collaborations.

Every undergraduate concentrator enjoys the opportunity to work with a professor in either theoretical or experimental research. Graduate students and postdoctoral researchers are trained to become next-generation physicists and future leaders in academia, government, NGOs or the private sector.
