University of Winnipeg

Course Description

• Physics needs people with imagination and a thirst to understand the inner workings of nature
• Research in physics often gives rise to unexpected benefits, with revolutionary discoveries like galaxies, lasers, magnetic resonance imaging, fibre optic communications, and the transistor
• Research at this university is conducted on a variety of topics in both theoretical and experimental physics
• The experimentalists study the nature of diamonds and semiconductors, medical uses of MRI, and the properties of subatomic particles, while the theorists imagine, deduce and investigate the inner workings of black holes, hot space, chaos, quantum computers, and quantum gravity
• Students are encouraged to participate in these research activities through summer employment with research groups
