What will I learn?

These relationships help to facilitate students‘ research in Condensed Matter & Optical Physics (semiconductor, surface science, soft-condensed matter, fibre optics). Our collaboration with the medical physics staff at the Regional Cancer Centre also provides a number of applicable research opportunities with Medical Physics professionals. The department’s close ties to the Thunder Bay Regional Research Institute gives students the opportunity to participate in exciting, cutting-edge research in medical imaging. As well as the regular core courses, students are provided with special topics courses.
