Faculty,Staff and Research Facilities The Physics Department currently has 13 full-time faculty in the three professorial ranks, 2 lecturers, 7 adjunct faculty, 2 research associates and 11 graduate and 10 upper-level undergraduate students. The department's major research strengths are in the areas of magnetic resonance based biological physics, experimental and theoretical laser/optical physics and quantum optics, and in experimental materials physics. The physics faculty directs use of 4 magnetic resonance spectrometers. Current experimental research includes NMR (NMR Center) investigations of proteins, enzymes and model membranes. Theoretical work involves calculations and computer simulations of magnetic resonance lineshapes. There are 2 optics labs equipped with argon ion, ti:sapphire, diode and helium-neon lasers, and other state-of-the-art equipment such as digital oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers, which allow a study of fundamental issues in laser noise, spectroscopy and the quantum nature of light. The materials lab includes an advanced magnetron sputter deposition system, and equipment for the measurement of magnetic and electronic properties of thin film materials. All students have access to the IUPUI computing facilities, which include Unix workstations, and several microcomputers. Professors Associate Professors Assistant Professors Lecturers
