Richard Masada

Professor

What student has not thought about the nature of the physical world in which he or she lives? What discipline in the college looks at this question most directly?

I would respond—Physics. Physics is the science of matter and energy and of the interactions between the two. Traditionally the topics have been grouped into fields such as optics, acoustics, mechanics, thermodynamics and electromagnetism. Today new fields are constantly being added from nuclear physics, plasma physics and superconductivity.

Richard Masada is one of the physics professors who will help you understand the structure of matter in our universe and the laws of the forces which are responsible or it.
