Curiosity about the world and a commitment to solving problems - these are the passions that drive the theoretical physics group in the School of Physics at the University of Sydney. The aim of the group is to carry out internationally competitive research in theoretical physics. The group's research emphasizes fundamental processes in astrophysics and covers topics in solar physics, pulsars, and scintillation.
Other research groups in the School of Physics also do research in theoretical physics, including the Biophysics, Brain Dynamics, Complex Systems, Condensed Matter Theory, CUDOS, Quantum Information Theory, and Space and Solar Physics groups. The name of the group is not intended to be exclusive! (Now, if only we could get those groups to link to us...)
The Theoretical Physics group is associated with the Institute of Astronomy.
Friday Group meetings
The group meets on Friday mornings at 10 am, in Don Melrose's office. Members of other research groups in the School please feel free to attend. The meetings often involve talks, and a schedule for 2009 is maintained here.
