School of Science UG Booklet (English version)

RESEARCH EXCELLENCE Research Foci • Cold atoms, Optics and Quantum Information • Condensed matter experiments and advanced materials • Condensed matter theory, statistical and computational physics • Particle physics and cosmology • Soft Matter and Biological physics • Metamaterials, Photonic and Phononic Crystals Department of Physics Facilities Research in the Department covers a broad range of topics, from the smallest to the largest scale. Faculty members work both independently and collaboratively and they are also linked to HKUST’s front-running William Mong Institute of Nano Science and Technology and the HKUST Institute for Advanced Study. Research Foci • Algebra and Number Theory • Geometry and Topology • Analysis and Differential Equations • Applied and Computational Mathematics • Financial Mathematics • Probability and Statistics • Data Science The Department utilizes a range of upto-date facilities and equipment for teaching and research purposes. Besides a laboratory with 40 high-end desktop PCs, there is also a High Performance Computing laboratory equipped with 200 powerful CPU- & GPU-based computer servers having 250 TFLOPS processing power and 1.5 PB storage capacity. Moreover, the NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD AI Supercomputer in the Hong Kong campus and the Tianhe2 Supercomputer in the Guangzhou Fok Ying Tung Research Institute are also available. By making use of these powerful computing facilities, our faculty and students are able to solve computationally intensive problems in their innovative research projects so that they can stay at the forefront of their research fields.
