Research
The School of Mathematics and Physics has an impressive research record. Our achievements are recognised nationally and internationally as measures of research excellence. Many of the School's researchers are internationally respected and regarded among the best in the world in their field. Students wishing to undertake a Research Higher Degree are encouraged to explore our areas of research below.
Mathematics
Fundamental advances in Mathematics and Statistics continue to produce an array of sophisticated analytical tools with far reaching applications. These cut across a number of areas including finance, information technology, and the biological and physical sciences. Mathematics and Statistics staff are recognised as experts in their chosen fields of research, each bringing specific skills to their program, and collectively they provide a focus for intensive Mathematics research which strives for the highest standards of academic achievement. The Research Programs consequently offer stimulating and supportive environments for students engaging in postgraduate research in these areas.

Physics
UQ has one of the strongest groups of researchers in physics in Australia. Our research broadly falls into the categories of quantum science, laser science, condensed matter physics and astrophysics. We have approximately 40 academic and research staff and 60 research postgraduate students, and have an annual research income of several million dollars.
UQ physics forms part of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Quantum-Atom Optics, ARC Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computer Technology, the Centre for Organic Photonics and Electronics, and the Centre for Hypersonics. We also host the Centre for Biophotonics and Laser Science.
