UPEI Physics Department faculty are actively conducting research in the fields of Computational Physics, Condensed Matter Physics, Material Science, Medical Physics, Scanning Probe Microscopy and Physics Education. Faculty receive funding from Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, Atlantic Innovation Fund, Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the Canada Foundation for Innovation. These prestigious awards are given in recognition of excellence in research at the national and international level.
A number of ongoing research projects are designed to allow for student participation, in the form of Honors Research Projects and as employment during the summer months. If you are an undergraduate student and a career in physics interests you, come by and talk to us about getting involved in our research.
