BROWN UNIVERSITY

The Department of Physics is located in Barus and Holley, a seven story building constructed in 1965 that contains laboratories, classrooms, lecture rooms, offices, and a rooftop observatory... The Department of Physics fully supports the University's mission in all facets of our academic programs. By providing students with a community of rigor, serious inquiry and an emphasis on collaborative research, we promote unlocking the mysteries of the physical world leading to technological innovations impacting society on a global scale... Physics has been in the Brown curriculum since 1772, back when the discipline was called "natural philosophy" and Wolfram Alpha was not around to solve our problems. Today, we have a vibrant department of over 40 faculty, joint faculty, and affiliated faculty, all pursuing the frontiers of physics.
