Within the framework of a whole set of research-related competencies, a student can generate innovative solutions to specific problems either in industry or in academia.
Graduates of the Master's program in Physics and Advanced Technology will have the following skills
characteristics:
Knowledge
- Advanced principles and laws of classical, quantum and statistical physics.
- Theoretical and mathematical tools to develop research lines in particle physics and astrophysics, gravitation, and living and condensed matter.
- Design of computational tools for modeling, simulation and optimization of physical systems at different scales.
- Fundamentals of instrumentation and experimental techniques for the description of classical and quantum physical phenomena.
Skills
- Formulate research questions and problems relevant to their field of development.
- To develop and adapt advanced mathematical models for the description of physical systems and the resolution of concrete problems.
- Represent through a computational model a physical situation, abstracting its most relevant elements, and use it to make predictions or generate explanations of physical phenomena.
- Plan and carry out relevant experimental setups to answer questions posed in the course of a research project.
- Use theoretical, mathematical, computational and experimental tools to meet academic and non-academic needs.
- Communicate scientific information clearly and accurately to peers and society in written and verbal form.
Attitudes and values
- Understands the scientific endeavor, its role in society, and the responsibility that comes with its development.
- It is conducted in an ethical manner, respecting scientific priority, authorship and the responsible and transparent handling of data and models.
- Apply critical thinking as a tool for scientific development.
- Makes original contributions to answers to research and social impact questions.
