Our Physics faculty and students are engaged in cutting-edge research at the forefront of the field—from the study of complex biological systems to experiments on the simple yet mysterious neutrino. We use both theoretical and experimental approaches to conduct research in a wide range of areas. Our forty faculty members lead these investigations, in labs within Swain Hall on the Indiana University Bloomington campus and at facilities around the world.

One theme is constant in all of this research - the importance of our graduate student researchers. As a student in our Physics department, you will have the opportunity to be a crucial and integral participant in some of the most exciting experiments in the field.

Our talented undergraduate Physics majors, including those in our Applied Physics stream, are given research opportunities that prepare them to succeed in graduate school, industry, or in any career requiring problem-solving and technical skills.
