RESEARCH SPECIALTIES
Precision Timing and Quantum Metrology
This research focuses on advanced atomic clocks, quantum sensors, and precision timing and navigation technologies for modern scientific and technological applications.
Astronomy and Astrophysics
The astronomy group’s research focuses on extragalactic, stellar, and planetary/exoplanetary astronomy with approximately equal emphasis on theory and observation.
Particle Astrophysics
This group uses fundamental particles to explore some of the most extreme objects in the universe, and use astronomical signals to explore physics beyond the Standard Model.
Theoretical Particle Physics
To probe the symmetries of the elementary particles and fundamental forces and their deeper relation to the ultimate truth is the goal of modern particle theory.
Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics
The research on condensed matter theory at The University of Alabama reflects the broad spectrum of topics and phenomena that is characteristic of modern condensed matter physics.
Experimental Condensed Matter Physics
Much of the research in condensed-matter physics at The University of Alabama ranges from quite applied work to very fundamental studies.
Experimental Particle Physics
This faculty group are members of international collaborations carrying out searches for neutrino oscillations and neutrino-less double beta decay, direct detection of dark matter particles, and more.
Events
Explore upcoming physics and astronomy events, including colloquiums, public observing nights, and a variety of research seminars that connect students, faculty, and the community through science and discovery.
