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 photonic 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 up-to-date facilities and equipment for teaching and research purposes. In addition to a laboratory equipped with high-end desktop PCs, students have access to a High-Performance Computing laboratory featuring 200 powerful CPU- and GPU-based servers, which deliver 250 TFLOPS of processing power and 1.5 petabytes of storage capacity. Moreover, the NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD AI supercomputer (based on the Hong Kong campus) and the Tianhe2 supercomputer (based at the Guangzhou Fok Ying Tung Research Institute) are also available. Leveraging these advanced computing resources, our faculty and students tackle complex, computationally intensive problems in their cutting-edge research projects – empowering them to remain leaders in their respective fields.
