Welcome to the Department of Physics
The Department of Physics at Carleton offers a wide set of programs at both the undergraduate and graduate level. The department is also is engaged in intensive research in Particle Physics and Medical Physics. Carleton University is a full member of TRIUMF: Canada's National Laboratory for Particle and Nuclear Physics.
Congratulations to Dr. Avery Berman's Functional Neuroimaging Physics Lab for their talks at the Annual Meeting of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) in Singapore (May 4–9). Dr.
Please join us in congratulating Bryce Norman, PhD Student in Particle Physics, for receiving 2nd place in the Three Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition across all fields.
Bryce’s presentation is titled, Establishing Evidence for the Higgs Boson Decaying to Two Muons at the ATLAS Detector.
The department in collaboration with the Faculty of Science recently hosted two events related to the eclipse:
Ian Ramirez-Berend received a 3rd place award for student presentations at the Winter Nuclear and Particle Physics Conference (WNPPC) 2024!
What is happening on April 8?
There will be a total solar eclipse visible throughout parts of the United States and north-east Canada.
What is a total solar eclipse?
A total solar eclipse happens when the Sun is totally blocked by the Moon.
David Sinclair was awarded the degree of Doctor of Science, honoris causa, at the 3:30 p.m. ceremony on Saturday, Nov. 4, in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the field of experimental sub-atomic physics and for his leading role as founding director of SNOLAB.
