North Dakota State University

The Department comprises twelve full-time faculty members, a laboratory technician, and an administrative assistant. We are research-oriented with active efforts in theoretical and computational condensed matter physics (soft matter, complex fluids, and biophysics), optics (laser spectroscopy), physics education, and experimental polymer physics.

We offer M.S. and Ph.D. graduate programs and an undergraduate major with options in Computational Physics and Optical Science and Engineering. See the sidebars to learn more about our research areas, degree programs, and course offerings.

Ambassadors Excellence Award

Dr. Landon Bladow was awarded the Ambassadors Excellence Award. The award is given out by the College's Student Ambassadors. Each ambassador nominates one member of the faculty or staff, then each individual's nominations are discussed. After a process of elimination, the award-winner is selected.

This is the only award in the College that is awarded by the students.

Staff Recognition Award

Paul Omernik was awarded NDSU's Staff Recognition Award in the Administrative/Professional category at the 24^th annual Employee Recognition Luncheon. Dr. Warren Christensen, with the backing of the Physics Department faculty, nominated Paul, who was one of nine individual award winners.

Physics majors Marne Johnson, Brandon Johnson, and Ahis Shrestha competed in an international competition that tackles real-world physics problems.
