Introduction
Students in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at
the University of New Mexico find themselves immersed in
a stimulating atmosphere arising from their exposure to the
teaching and research activities of 27 regular faculty members,
another dozen research, adjunct and part-time faculty
members, a dozen postdoctoral research associates and
from their interactions with well over 50 undergraduate majors
and 100 graduate students. The atmosphere is enriched by
activities of the Center for Advanced Studies, the Consortium
of the Americas for Interdisciplinary Science, an NSF-funded
Cross-Disciplinary Optics Research and Education (C.O.R.E.)
program, the New Mexico Center for Particle Physics, and the
Institute for Astrophysics which are housed in the Department;
by the Center for High Technology Materials in which physicists
and engineers are at work on understanding and developing
optoelectronic materials and devices with novel properties;
and by the collaborative projects the faculty and students in
the Department carry out with neighboring laboratories such
as Sandia National Laboratories, the Los Alamos National
Laboratory and the Air Force Research Laboratory; with local
industries such as CVI, EG & G, BDM, Mission Research and
SAI and with institutes, universities and other centers of learning
in the USA and elsewhere. Outstanding scientists from all
over the world visit the department for periods of a few weeks
to as long as a year, while seminars and colloquia feature
international experts in their fields each week.
The research atmosphere is equally active, with work being
pursued in astrophysics and astronomy, optics and photonics,
condensed matter physics, quantum information, atomic
and subatomic physics, biomedical physics, general relativity
and statistical physics. The research is funded at a high level
by various external agencies such as the National Science
Foundation, the Department of Energy, the Department of
Defense, the National Institute of Health and NASA.
