NIP Theoretical Physics Group

The National Institute of Physics was established in 1983 by Presidential Executive Order transforming the then Department of Physics of the College of Arts and Sciences. Our VISION is to be the leading center of physics education and research in the Philippines which, through the generation of new knowledge in pure and applied physics, would exert scientific influence in the Asia-Pacific region. As the leading center of physics education and research in the Philippines To produce a significant number of excellent PhD graduates in pure and applied physics To attract and retain the best scientific talents To develop and disseminate evidence-based programs and materials in physics education To develop and maintain enabling and nurturing environment for researchers, faculty, students, and staff by offering a competitive compensation package and by promoting intellectual honesty, integrity, collegiality and academic freedom As a center that generates new knowledge in pure and applied physics To increase the production of high-impact research by developing patentable technologies and by acquiring and maintaining state-of-the-art facilities in the level of international standards To achieve fiscal sustainability in funding research endeavors To encourage activities that support entrepreneurial and industrial application and development Aside from their teaching duties, our faculty are engaged in research in the following areas: condensed matter, instrumentation, photonics, plasma, structure & dynamics and fields and particles physics.
