MSc by Research in Applied Physics and Materials in Swansea United Kingdom | Swansea University

The MSc by Research in Applied Physics and Materials offers a year-long personalized research program designed to enhance both personal and professional growth. Your project in applied physics and materials will be developed through engagement in various research activities, including seminars, workshops, laboratory work, and fieldwork, alongside collaboration with one of our dedicated research groups. We host three primary research groups. The Applied Physics and Materials Group (APM) receives funding from organizations such as the European Union, Welsh Government, National Science Foundation, Australian Research Council, Welsh European Funding Office, and EPSRC. Research focuses on: Biophotonics: Nano- and micro-structured materials, biomimetics, analyte sensing, and light-tissue interactions; Nanomedicine and Sustainable Advanced Materials: next-gen semiconductors, bioelectronic materials and devices, optoelectronics including photodetection, solar energy conversion, advanced electro-optics, and transport physics of disordered solids. The Atomic, Molecular and Quantum Physics Group (AMQP) is funded by EPSRC, the EU, The Royal Society, the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales, and various industrial and governmental sources. Research areas include: Analytical laser spectroscopy, ultrafast dynamics, imaging and microscopy, optomechanics, antihydrogen, positronium and positrons, cold atom physics, and nano-scale physics in life sciences. The Particle Physics and Cosmology Theory Group (PPCT) ranks among the UK's top five particle physics groups, primarily supported by STFC with additional grants from EPSRC, the EU, the Royal Society, and the Leverhulme Trust. Research topics encompass: Amplitudes in gauge and supergravity theories, hot and dense matter, high-performance computing, gauge/string duality, higher spin holography, integrability, large-N gauge theories, supersymmetry and duality, holography and lattice theories in physics beyond the Standard Model, and quantum fields in curved spacetime and theoretical cosmology.
