IN THE UK RESEARCH INTENSITY (*Complete University Guide 2022)
More than 80% of our physics research outputs were judged to be world-leading or internationally excellent in the latest (2014) Research Excellence Framework (REF). Our state-of-the-art facilities include: a low-energy positron beam with dedicated instrumentation for the study of positronium; continuous-wave and pulsed laser systems, and scanning tunnelling; near-field optical and Raman microscopes. We provide high-performance computing resources via clusters and dedicated supercomputers. Staff members lead the ALPHA collaboration at CERN, aiming to create, trap and manipulate anti-hydrogen. The new Sêr SAM programme funded by the Welsh Government and European Regional Development Fund focuses on the physics of advanced materials with low embodied energy for applications in optoelectronics and bioelectronics. Areas of expertise are next generation semiconductors, hybrid conducting electronic-ionic materials, photodetection and solar energy.
We invite applications from well- qualified candidates whose research interest focuses around the fields of, Atomic, Molecular and Quantum Physics (AMQP), Applied Physics and Materials (APM) and Particle Physics and Cosmology Theory (PPCT). The Atomic, Molecular and Quantum Physics Group (AMQP) is supported by grants from EPSRC, the EU, The Royal Society, the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales and various industrial and government sources. The areas of research are: • Analytical laser spectroscopy • Antihydrogen, positronium and positrons • Cold atom physics • Ultrafast Dynamics, Imaging and Microscopy, Optomechanics The Applied Physics and Materials (APM) Group is supported by grants from the European Union, Welsh Government, National Science Foundation, Australian Research Council, Welsh European Funding Office, and EPSRC. The areas of research include: • Biophotonics: Nano and micro-structured materials, biomimetics, analyte sensing and light-tissue interaction • Nanomedicine
• Sustainable Advanced Materials: next generation semiconductors, bioelectronic materials and devices, optoelectronics including photodetection, solar energy conversion, advanced electro- optics and transport physics of disordered solids The Particle Physics and Cosmology Theory (PPCT) Group is one of the five largest particle physics groups in the UK. It is supported mainly by STFC, but also has grants from EPSRC, the EU, the Royal Society and the Leverhulme Trust. The areas of research include: • Amplitudes in gauge and supergravity theories • Gauge/string duality, Higher spin holography, Integrability, Large-N gauge theories, supersymmetry and duality • Holography and lattice theories in physics beyond the Standard Model • Hot and Dense matter, high-performance computing • Quantum fields in curved spacetime and theoretical cosmology Further information on our research can be found on our website: swansea.ac.uk/postgraduate/ scholarships
