Welcome to the Division of Theoretical Physics

The Division of Theoretical Physics is part of the Department of Physics and Astronomy.

The research in theoretical physics spans a large spectrum of physical problems, from the origin of the universe, where both the forces and matter are represented by oscillating strings, via proteins that fold and form knots, to the structure of the particles colliding in our accelerators.
