The Maryland Experimental High Energy Physics team investigates the characteristics and behaviors of fundamental particles in nature. Our current comprehension of the cosmos across vast and minute scales (in terms of both energy and distance) has resulted in a theoretical structure known as the Standard Model. The University of Maryland's Physics Department ranks among the country's most extensive. Delving into over 30 physics disciplines, our professors and students collaborate on pioneering research at the forefront of modern physics. Combined with a demanding academic program and our advantageous position near Washington D.C., this robust research initiative creates the basis for an exceptional learning environment. Our undergraduate students are highly recruited by top-tier graduate institutions and competitive employers, while our graduate students progress to rewarding positions in government, private sector, and academic institutions.
