Overview

These labs investigate such practical applications as high temperature superconductivity and advanced imaging of cell membranes. Our research groups in theoretical physics and astrophysics study phenomena ranging from supernova explosions to the exotic states of topological superconductors that may be the platform for future quantum computers.

Hofstra is deeply committed to fostering a welcoming environment where men and women from all backgrounds and cultures receive the kind of support and mentorship they need to become leaders in their field.

We keep our class sizes small. Our average class size is 20 students which encourages teamwork and the formation of close mentoring relationships with our faculty.

Students at the Applied Physics program offered by Hofstra University have gone on to work at high-profile government research laboratories, and to pursue graduate study in engineering and computer science. They’ve been finalists for the Rhodes Scholarship, and have worked with faculty on groundbreaking research that could advance the understanding of quantum computing, black holes and supernovas. And they’ve had opportunities to present their research at national conferences, observe at world class telescopes in Chile and Hawaii, and publish their work in peer-reviewed prestigious journals.
