Engineering Physics students, staff and alumni – FIZZ Beans is back! Thursday November 23rd, 1 PM – 2 PM in Hebb 116
Chat with some new people in Fizz and learn about our networking program. A lunch will be provided (gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian options all available) at our kick off event. Fizz Beans is a weekly opt-in program that matches you up with someone else in Fizz for a coffee chat. Meet other people in […]
Alex Koen presents at the American Physical Society’s Plasma Physics Conference
Alex Koen at the American Physical Society’s Plasma Physics Conference, October 31 – November 2, 2023 in Denver, Colorado. Abstract: While commercially-available computer-aid design (CAD) tools excel in modeling most traditional designs, they fall short when developing complex, computationally-seeded stellarator geometry. At Thea Energy, the magnetic winding surface is tiled using an array of planar […]
Engineering Physics student unveils superconductivity in twisted graphene, now published in Nature Materials
Almost a year and a half ago, Ray Su, pictured above, began a Co-op term with UBC physics professor Josh Folk. Ray Su: “Initially, my role involved learning the methods of nanoscale and cryogenic sample preparation from members of the group – from using the “scotch-tape” method to isolate two-dimensional crystals, assembling crystal layers to […]
Engineering Physics students build their own “Mario Karts” for the annual robot competition
Karts must complete as many laps of the track as possible in 2 minutes. Taking shortcuts and flying will save some time. Dropping “bananas” and bombs to slow down the competition is allowed.

Engineering Physics Project Award Winners
Instructor Miti Isbasescu presenting the Ed Auld Award to Ray Su for his project researching strongly correlated electronic states of two dimensional moiré graphene superlattices and developing a platform that can be used to investigate the band structure of materials by modulating electromagnetic fields. Su’s work culminated in discovering superconductivity in Twisted Double Bilayer Graphene Stabilized by Tungsten Diselenide. Photo ©LouDahl
