The Physics Department at Case has undergone a decade of exciting growth and revitalization. Among the highlights are: the building of new research laboratories and classrooms, an ongoing infusion of outstanding new faculty, more than doubling our undergraduate majors, the creation of six new undergraduate degree programs, and new graduate programs including the Masters Program in Physics Entrepreneurship to empower students to create tech startups. Cutting edge research in astrophysics, biophysics, condensed matter physics, cosmology, optics, and particle physics is happening here now. We also have strong ties to the Engineering School and Mathematics. Our collaborations with Astronomy include a Ph.D. Program in Physics and Astronomy. The department has two high speed multinode beowulf clusters providing supercomputer performance. We are proud of our students, 3 of whom have won Churchill Fellowships for graduate study in the past decade, as well as 6 who have won NSF Postgraduate Fellowships, and our faculty, many of whom have won international awards, including most recently awards from the American Association of Physics Teachers for the best introductory physics teaching in the country, and the most significant contribution to physics education in this country. We are focused on our goal of being one of the top mid-size physics departments in the country.
