Past Chairs
In 1960, the Department of Physics and the Department of Theoretical Physics were established as two separate departments. In the 1970–1971 academic year, the two departments joined together under the name Department of Physics. The chairs who served from 1960 onward are listed below.
Theoretical Physics
Physics
A Brief History of the Department
During the first five years (1960-1965), the offices and classrooms were situated in temporary barracks, and in the Mathematics building during 1965-1968. In 1968-1974, the Department of Physics was located in the S-building, while classes were mostly held in the U-3 complex as well as in the S-building.
The first of the twin Physics buildings was completed by 1965; the second was completed in 1971. Construction of the P-building was completed in 1978. Ford Foundation and AID (Agency for International Development, USA) grants substantially supported the establishment of research and educational labs. During the early years, Gell-Mann, Mössbauer and Lee — who later received Nobel Prizes — were among the visiting scientists.
