To initiate, promote and support collaborative research among scientists with shared interests and complementary expertise, the faculty in the physical sciences have organized a variety of local and international centers and institutes. These are either directly supported by the division or academically associated with our faculty and student researchers:
- Arthur C. Clarke Center for Human Imagination
- California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology
- Center for Advanced Nanoscience
- Center for Aerosol Impacts on Climate and the Environment
- Center for Astrophysics and Space Sciences
- Center for Computational Mathematics
- Center for NMR Spectroscopy and Imaging of Proteins
- Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (UCSD MRSEC)
- San Diego Center for Systems Biology
- San Diego Supercomputer Center
- Synthetic Biology Institute
Outreach
The division is committed to engaging with both our campus community and with the San Diego community at large. Many of our faculty members and student groups advocate and actively participate in outreach activities. Here are just a few of many examples:
- Astrofacts!
- BioChemCoRe
- Do the Math
- Expanding Your Horizons
- Portable Planetarium
- REU Program
- Tech Trek
- Young Physicists Program
