It is well known that Physics is the science that can assist in the understanding of how everything works. From the subatomic world to the large stars and galaxies, the laws of physics are identical. Studying physics triggers critical thinking, strengthens quantitative reasoning, and enhances teamwork capabilities, 因此, enabling physics graduates to work in multidisciplinary environments, 包括行业, 学术界, 金融部门.
The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (金沙中国) is a distributed campus university. The Department of Physics and 天文学 has two locations, one is in the Interdisciplinary Academic Building in the Brownsville campus (BINAB) and in the Science Building (ESCNE) in the Edinburg campus. Both cities are located in South Texas in the Lower Rio Grande valley. We offer the degrees of BS, MS, and Ph.D. in Physics and the Master of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies in Science and Technology (MSIS). 我们的Ph值.D. in Physics will admit its first students in Spring 2022. We offer competitive assistantships to qualified graduate students (MS, MSIS, and Ph.D.). Most of our undergraduate students come from underrepresented groups in science, 比如西班牙裔, whereas our graduate students are both from the local area, the rest of Texas and out-of-state, 从国外. Most of our graduates are employed in 学术界, 国家实验室, 行业, 中等教育.
Our current faculty have expertise in Gravitational Wave 天文学, 射电天文学, 天体物理学, 核, and High-Energy Theoretical Physics, 实验纳米物理, 计算, and Experimental Material Science, Experimental Condensed Matter Physics, AMO物理学, 生物物理学, 和物理教育. We currently have two research centers, the Gravitational Wave 天文学 Center (CGWA) and the Center for 射电天文学 (CARA), whereas we aspire to add a third center in Material Science. We are expecting to further expand our areas of research in Quantum Information technology both computationally and experimentally. Our faculty are highly successful in obtaining external funding support and publishing their work in high-impact journals.
In our department, we value student engagement, diversity, and inclusion. 学生 are engaged in research at both undergraduate and graduate levels, 因此 serving in publications as co-authors and presenting their research in national and international level conferences. We pay attention to student mentoring, which is one of the keys to student success: Our graduate students have a mentor in addition to their research advisor, which is assisting in not only in coursework selection but also in personal issues, 比如住房. Our faculty is diverse and includes females from underrepresented groups in science.
