The mission of the Physics Department is to provide high-quality instruction in Physics and to train competent Physicists who can contribute significantly to the Physics and Engineering environment in the country. To develop awareness of Physics as an ongoing activity through student involvement in research, thus providing students with a challenging, strongly personalized training program.
The Department of Physics at the University of West Florida is committed to providing quality education in traditional physics, engineering physics, physics with computer science, and offers B.S. degree in physics. There are four full-time faculty members who contribute to research programs in Organic Thin Film Preparation & Characterization, Nonlinear Optics and Phase Conjugation, Single Crystal Growth, and Theoretical Quantum Optics. The physics classes are generally small and are taught by highly-qualified faculty members rather than graduate students. Professors are readily available and willing to interact with students on a personal level. All faculty members usually have extended office hours. Students are encouraged to participate in various fields of research and work side-by-side with faculty.
Jon Welch, Charles Amos, Scott Miller, Dr. Chandra Payaga, Dr. Guoping Wu and Dr. Laszlo Ujj recieve the Presidents Award for Best of Show 2009 in SEASTARS Symposium.
The Physics Department also congratulates departmental winners of SEASTARS Symposium - Ross Dickinson, Jeremy Munn, Charles Amos, Dr. Chandra Prayaga, Dr. Laszlo Ujj and Dr. Guoqing Wu.
SEASTARS is the Scholars of Engineering, Applied Sciences & Technology Annual Research Symposium held each spring.Other winners of the SEASTARS symposium are listed in the 2009 volume of the UWF Argojournal.
