The Physics Ph.D. program aims to deliver comprehensive knowledge of fundamental physics principles while offering specialized training in cutting-edge research areas. Earning this degree requires completing an innovative, meaningful research project documented in a doctoral thesis. Temple University's College of Science and Technology offers this Physics doctorate program, where students receive hands-on research experience alongside faculty experts in diverse fields like atomic physics, condensed matter studies, statistical mechanics, and particle physics (both theoretical and experimental). Throughout their studies, candidates investigate novel research questions, culminating in a dissertation that makes an original contribution to the field. Discover our Physics faculty and their specialized research focuses. Our department operates from the advanced Science Education and Research Center (SERC) on Temple's Main Campus, featuring modern research laboratories, collaborative workspaces, and specialized equipment including clean rooms and precision microscopy facilities.
