The physics department at the Technion aims to educate aspiring scientists in order to help them improve our understanding of the universe. The department also provides students with the foundations they need in order to take part in the development of technologies for the 3rd millennium. Another important goal of the department is to provide every engineering and science student at the Technion with a basic physics education. These goals are achieved with a combination of teaching and research which we conduct together with our graduate and undergraduate students. The research area of each member of Faculty is outlined in their individual homepages.
