The department of Physics, Engineering Physics & Astronomy held public presentations of the senior undergraduate students’ theses on April 8th at the Stirling Hall. The students undertake individual research projects under the supervision of a faculty member over one year (2025/9~2026/4). A total of 62 engineering physics students and 18 physics major students presented their final results at this event.
