The Department of Physics at Queen's University is one of the leading physical research institutes in Canada. The research carried out by students, faculty and staff occurs both in Stirling Hall, as well as at external facilities such as the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory, Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories, the HPCVL supercomputer and telescopes around the world. Research is broadly categorized into 4 groups: engineering and medical physics, condensed matter physics & optics, astrophysics and astronomy, and particle physics and astrophysics.
