Welcome to the Department of Imaging and Applied Physics
(Campus map)

The Department of Imaging and Applied Physics is one of four teaching Departments within the Faculty of Science and one of the most active in terms of educational innovation and research. The long-term success of the Department is reflected in the 'birth' and growth of the other areas within and outside the Department, including the Department of Exploration Geophysics, the Discipline of Medical Imaging Science, and the internationally renowned Curtin Science and Mathematics Education Centre.

Applied Physics is one of the original "Science Departments" established at Curtin in 1966, then the Western Australian Institute of Technology (WAIT). Medical Imaging was subsequently established in 1974, and is the only provider of graduates to the Medical Imaging profession in Western Australia.

The quality and success of our research makes a valuable contribution towards all levels of our teaching through both the staff expertise and the state of the art equipment available to students. Our students graduate with a remarkably useful set of skills and abilities placing them in high demand both nationally and internationally.
