With approximately 126 advisors and 350 students (2015 data), the IFUSP Graduate Program has an extraordinary thematic diversity, which makes it stand out in the Brazilian academic scene. The research activities carried out in our program include diversified areas from Cosmology to Biophysics, and from Environmental Physics to Materials Science. Nearly all fields of Physics are covered: Nuclear Physics, Condensed Matter Physics, Optics, Biophysics, Atomic and Molecular Physics, Mathematical Physics, Plasma Physics, Dynamical Systems, Cosmology, Particles and Fields Physics , Statistical Mechanics, Applied Physics and Instrumentation, etc.
IFUSP has an excellent infrastructure for the development of research work by professors and graduate students. Modern and well-equipped laboratories, up-to-date resources for data processing, and one of the best scientific libraries in Brazil are some of the advantages offered to those who develop their graduate studies here.
