Distinctives of the Physics Department
Research opportunities abound for undergraduates from many different academic areas working with faculty in the department of physics. Department faculty have expertise in condensed matter physics, nuclear and particle physics and biomedical physics. Recent graduates of the department have gone on to prestigious graduate programs at Harvard, Columbia and Vanderbilt, as well as to lucrative employment opportunities.
L. Alan Bradshaw, department chair, was awarded the Nightingale Prize for the best paper published in Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing in 2005. Bradshaw maintains an active research program at Vanderbilt University investigating gastrointestinal biomagnetic fields that has also involved numerous Lipscomb undergraduates.
The Department of Physics utilizes three dedicated laboratories for instruction in the McFarland Hall of Science, as well as a machine shop, electronics shop and x-ray laboratory. In addition, the department shares access to the computer classrooms in McFarland, which provide several stations for special applications.
