Chair's Message  
  Welcome to the Department of Physics and Astronomy website.

Our Department has very broad research activities that range from the cosmology of the universe and the study of Black Holes, the Sun, and extra-solar planets to the study of the elementary constituents of matter at the subatomic and nuclear levels, and encompassing the way atoms and molecules aggregate in condensed matter and biological systems and the behavior of plasma and particle beam environments.

Our faculty includes members of the National Academy, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and have received prestigious prizes like the National Medal of Science, the Dirac Prize of the International Center of Theoretical Physics, the Newton Lacy Pierce Prize in Astronomy, the UCLA Women of Science Award, the National Academy of Sciences Arctowski Medal, the UAP Grand Prix Scientifique, the Thomas Alva Edison Science Award, the Russel Prize and the Wilson Prize. We take great pride in teaching for our undergradute and graduate students. UCLA provides a rich environment for learning, living conditions, and sport activities.

We invite you to explore in more detail what our department can offer you by looking at the 2004-2005 Annual Report, and the faculty web pages.
