PhD in Physics - Biophysics in Waterloo Canada | University of Waterloo

Our Physics department ranks among Canada's most extensive, providing undergraduate and graduate courses in diverse fields like applied physics, astrophysics, biophysics, chemical physics, mathematical physics, and quantum computing. As a research-driven institution, we concentrate on five key research domains: astrophysics, biological physics, condensed matter physics, optics, and quantum computing, with faculty experts employing theoretical, experimental, and computational approaches. For those seeking advanced studies in Physics and Astronomy, our Graduate Studies in Physics (GSiP) program stands as one of Canada's - and the world's - most substantial physics and astronomy graduate programs. The University of Waterloo's Physics and Astronomy Department consistently ranks among the global top 100 (QS 2020) and has produced Nobel Prize-winning research (2018 Physics). We form a vital component of Waterloo's thriving physics network, collaborating with prestigious institutions like the Institute for Quantum Computing, Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology, and Waterloo Center for Astrophysics. PhD candidates collaborate closely with assigned supervisors to conduct innovative research, culminating in a doctoral thesis.
