Laboratory work is a component of many of the units of study in Senior Physics.

Senior Experimental Physics is coordinated by Dr David Reilly and Prof. Simon Fleming. For administrative enquiries (lab bookings, etc.) contact Simon Fleming and for academic enquiries contact David Reilly. For general enquiries about Senior Physics, see here.
