It is the science which has made\u00a0possible the design and operation of many everyday components including computer chips,\u00a0lasers, solar collectors, medical equipment, sensors and mobile phones.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">The curriculum of the graduate program in Applied Physics consists of core courses and\u00a0elective courses. The core courses are designed to provide students with the fundamentals\u00a0of physics and skills in computing, mathematics and instrumentations. The electives which\u00a0can be taken from a range of topics are designed so that students can develop their own\u00a0course of study according to their interests. A research project is required to be undertaken\u00a0throughout the duration to provide the experience of doing independent research under the\u00a0supervision of the department academics. The research project focuses on applying physics\u00a0to scientific and technological problems. The research project starts by conducting extensive\u00a0literature review, followed by performing experiments and preparing a research report.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">This programme is designed to develop professionals with broad capabilities appropriate\u00a0for careers in technical research or advanced graduate study. It provides valuable graduate\u00a0training and research project experience sought after by industry, government and R &amp; D\u00a0organizations.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">The area of research and expertise of academics in the Department of Applied Physics\u00a0are including material science, solid-state physics, the physics of thin films devices, the\u00a0physics of medical radiations, space science, and theoretical and computational physics.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4e2cb938\" data-id=\"4e2cb938\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-58d4e080 ekit-equal-height-enable elementor-widget elementor-widget-elementskit-image-box\" data-id=\"58d4e080\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"elementskit-image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-wid-con\" >\n            <div class=\"elementskit-info-image-box ekit-image-box text-center style-modern\" >\n\n                \n                <div class=\"elementskit-box-header image-box-img-center\">\n\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/siswazahfst\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/DrAdlyka-150x150.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-image-7071\" alt=\"\" \/>\n                <\/div>\n                \n                <div class=\"elementskit-box-body ekit-image-box-body\">\n                    <div class=\"elementskit-box-content ekit-image-box-body-inner\">\n                                                <h3 class=\"elementskit-info-box-title\">\n\n                        Assoc.
