Physics@Sydney

The Sydney University Physics Education Research (SUPER) Group was founded in 1992 to undertake physics education research (PER) in the School of Physics.

We are a group of physicists with common interests in the issues of teaching and student learning, offering staff and students high-quality teaching and learning opportunities and researching the complex ways in which people go about understanding physics.

SUPER has an extensive and expanding research program and are always looking for new ideas, students and collaborations.
