Physics
As the most fundamental of sciences, physics deals with energy in all its forms: with the interactions of matter and energy, with the structure of matter and with energytransforming processes. A physics degree will prepare you to become a dynamic and versatile problem solver; that’s a skill that opens many doors. After Wofford, our students pursue graduate school, law school, medical school or enter the workforce in a variety of industries as engineers or other roles in collaborative, professional settings.
Meet Dr. Solmaz Bastani
Dr. Solmaz Bastani, assistant professor of physics, is an experimental physicist with interests in material development and medical physics. Her teaching philosophy leads her to view students as colleagues as they become independent thinkers. She’s been awarded National Science Foundation grants to promote research.
Meet Emily Durham ’21
Emily Durham is pursuing a Ph.D. at the University of Florida, where she plans to conduct research in astrophysics. She majored in physics and mathematics at Wofford and was a student-athlete on the volleyball team. She earned a master’s in mathematics at Lamar University.
