Research Philosophy
Our experimental research is vital for understanding
physical phenomena and for using gained knowledge
to develop practical engineering systems. Experimental
research also gives students a strong physical
basis for material learned in the classroom.
Such a background is valuable even for students
who wish to pursue a career in computational
research.
