Department of Physics
The Department of Physics of Shantou University was founded in 1983. After more than 30 years of construction and development, the Department of Physics has built a reasonable structure of teaching and research team led by high-level talents and young teachers as the main backbone of the discipline. The Department of Physics currently has 36 faculty members, 28 teaching and research personnel, and 1 postdoctoral fellow. There are 8 professors, 9 associate professors and 11 lecturers. More than 77% of the full-time teachers in this major have overseas study or work experience, 96% of the teachers have a doctor's degree; Full-time professors account for 29% of the total number of teachers, and 61% of full-time teachers have the title of associate senior or above. It has excellent teachers such as "National Famous Teacher", "National Special Expert", and "Stanford's Lifelong Scientific Influence List of the World's Top 2% Top Scientists".
The Department of Physics has a master's degree in "Optical Engineering" and a master's degree in "Materials Physics and Chemistry". Research and teaching laboratory area of more than 3000 sqaure meters, the total equipment assets of more than 30 million yuan, with good teaching and research conditions. It has two research platforms, "Advanced Optics and Photonics Center" and "Semiconductor Materials and Devices Research Center" of Guangdong University. Around the three disciplines of laser and ultrafast optics, photoelectric functional materials and devices, imaging and display photonics, a relatively complete discipline system supporting the development of disciplines has been gradually constructed.
The Department of Physics has three undergraduate programs: Physics, Optoelectronic Information Science and Engineering, and Microelectronics Science and Engineering. It has three teaching practice platforms, "Physics Experiment Teaching Demonstration Center of Guangdong University", "Guangdong Optoelectronic Information Science and Engineering Experiment Teaching Demonstration Center" and "Shantou University Virtual Simulation Teaching Experiment Center", and through the cooperation of science and education, production and learning, it has built a comprehensive collaborative education system inside and outside the school. To provide a more rich and three-dimensional practice environment for training innovative talents.
Department of Physics of Shantou University now has offered Optical Engineering 1st level Master Program andMaterial Physics and Chemistry 2nd level Master Program.
Material Physics and Chemistryis the subject actively supported by the 211 Project in our universities. This subject takes Condensed Matter Physics as theoretical basis and applies modern physics research methods, computing technology, advanced material preparation technology and testing technology into the researches about physics problems of material science. It emphasizes on the researches on material microstructure, material transformation rules and the relationship between materials as well as their physical and chemical property. Currently, the main research directions are photoelectric material, nano-composite material and signal processing applications in material science.
At present,Optical engineeringhas four research directions: laser physics, optoelectronic materials and devices, photonic crystal and optical fiber sensor and photoelectric display technology. This discipline involved in the study of the theory of the frontier of strong laser field physics. At the same time, this subject focus on applied research and participates in some research and development projects of some enterprises. In the coming years, the department of physics would endeavor to establish the doctor degree program of optics engineering discipline, in order to set up the multilevel system ofBachelor - Master - Doctorelite cultivation.
