Astrophysics We study exploding stars, growing galaxies and feeding black holes in an expanding Universe.
Nanoscience We research how quantum mechanical and thermodynamic properties of molecules, nanostructures, multilayers and glassy materials can be modified.
Theoretical and computational physics We study how components of complex systems interact with each other, and how this leads to unusual behaviour and novel applications.
Centre for Photonics and Photonic Materials World-leading research in the science and technology of light.
Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology We are an interdisciplinary research centre bridging science and engineering.
Centre for Space, Atmospheric and Oceanic Science We study the environment of the Earth and near-Earth space and their effects on advanced technological systems
Centre for Networks and Collective Behaviour An interdisciplinary research centre for the modelling and analysis of complex interacting systems.
EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Condensed Matter Physics This CDT trains postgraduate researchers across a broad range of hard condensed matter physics.
