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. 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. The program covers, modern optics (lasers and optical communications), 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.

If you already have an undergraduate background in electrical engineering or physics, as well as an enduring interest in physical phenomena and applied mathematics, the MS in Electrophysics program will be the perfect fit for you.

Admission Requirements

To gain admission to the Master of Science in Electrophysics program, you should have a bachelor’s degree in engineering or science from an accredited institution, with a superior undergraduate record, including undergraduate courses in differential equations, electromagnetic theory, quantum and solid-state physics, and linear systems. Students with deficiencies in these areas may be admitted if they take appropriate introductory courses to remedy these deficiencies. Outstanding students are advised to apply for financial aid in the form of research fellowships, teaching fellowships, or partial tuition remission.
