The Institute of Physical Engineering is an internationally recognized institution involved in teaching and research in the field of applied physics and its applications in high-tech fields and innovations. Our institute offers basic physics courses to all faculty students. For those with a deeper interest in physics, we provide comprehensive interdisciplinary education in the Physical Engineering and Nanotechnology program. Additionally, we offer the Precision Mechanics and Optics program for those interested in applied optics and micromechanics.
In our research activities, we specialize in the following areas:
