In the Department of Physics of the Universidad San Francisco de Quito we take care of forming Graduates in Physics with solid theoretical and experimental basis, prepared to meet the scientific and technological needs of the modern world. We have a front line teaching staff with Ph.D. level training, who actively participate in international scientific research and outreach activities.

The Department, although small, is in the forefront of research in solid state physics, particle and astroparticle physics, and theoretical physics
