Congratulations to the Honours Physics class of 2018!

Two new installations will commemorate the Nobel Prize winning research discoveries made at the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO).

The Canadian Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics (CCUWiP) is a three-day national conference for undergraduate students studying physics or related majors. Modeled after the APS Conferences for Undergraduate Women in Physics, the primary goal of the CCUWiP is to help undergraduate women continue in physics by providing them with the opportunity to experience a professional conference, information about graduate school and professions in physics, and access to other women in physics of all ages with whom they can share experiences, advice, and ideas.

Congratulations to the Engineering Physics class of 2018!

Professor Martin Duncan retired from the Department in December 2017 and a party was held at the University in celebration of his long and distinguished career at Queen's. Dr. Duncan received his PhD in Astronomy from the University of Texas at Austin in 1980. From 1979 to 1982 he was a postdoctoral fellow at Cornell University. He returned to the University of Toronto as an Assistant Professor from 1982 to 1987 and spent a year at the University of California at Santa Cruz in 1987-1988 as an Assistant Professor. He arrived at Queen’s University as an Associate Professor in 1988, was promoted to Professor in 1993 and retired in December 2017.
