Some department members are involved in educational research focused on improving student learning of physics and astronomy. ![]() Members of the department come from research backgrounds in biophysics, high-energy particle physics, astrophysics and theoretical physics, and have held positions at the TRIUMF accelerator, the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics, Xerox Research, and several high-tech companies. In our basic physics course, students are asked to design, build and play simple musical instruments. Several department members are amateur musicians, and demonstrate concepts from the physics of sound in class. We teach physics and astronomy through hands-on experiences, conversations, symbolic calculations and lectures. Our goal is to nurture the creativity, critical thinking, physical intuition and computational competence of our students in a supportive and challenging environment. The Physics and Astronomy Department consists of eleven classroom and lab instructors. We've moved! Langara's Physics & Astronomy Department is now in the new Science & Technology Building (T Building) on the west side of campus.
