Electrophysics

Electrophysics is behind advances in everything from microwaves and plasma TVs to wireless communications and solid-state drives. With so many technological applications, it’s safe to say the field welcomes steady innovation.

At NYU-Poly, our students benefit from a distinguished faculty committed to that innovation. Traditional areas of active research that our faculty have contributed to include propagation modeling for wireless communications, propagation and scattering of waves, electromagnetic theory, antennas, microwave circuits, plasmas and solid-state devices. Areas of modern optics covered in the program include lasers and optical communications. Additional areas are nonlinear wave propagation, ultrasonic waves in solids, and waves in the earth’s ionosphere. You will be exposed to some of the most current technical developments in each area and can be guided in research at their forefronts.
