Research Areas and Projects

The Physics Department conducts research in several strategic areas, leveraging modern scientific achievements. The main goals of the research are to develop modern teaching methods in physics and astronomy, expand cooperation with the international scientific community, and achieve practical results. The department conducts research in the following key scientific areas:

• Theoretical and Applied Physics Research: This area focuses on quantum mechanics, theoretical physics, and the physical properties of matter. Specifically, scientific research is conducted on the optical and electrical properties of semiconductor materials (I.G. Tursunov), the propagation characteristics of electromagnetic waves in various media (S.Z. Rakhmanov), and the modeling of physical processes based on unconventional physical models (K.R. Nasriddinov).

• Nano and Materials Science Research: Scientific work is carried out on modern nanotechnologies, new materials, and their physical properties. In particular, the optical and electrical properties of nanoparticles and their changes under the influence of temperature and pressure are deeply investigated (K.R. Nasriddinov, S.Z. Rakhmanov).

• Astrophysical Research: Physical studies of stars and galaxies are one of the important scientific directions of the department. Specifically, research is conducted on the analysis of observations of binary stars obtained with optical telescopes (Sh.E. Nurmamatov) and the surface density of rich galactic clusters (S.Sh. Kutlimuratov).

• Methodology of Physics and Astronomy Education: Research is conducted on developing the methodology of teaching physics and astronomy and implementing innovative approaches in the educational process. This includes effectively organizing experimental physics lessons through interactive methods (A.N. Ernazarov), developing astronomy education based on scientific research achievements (A.M. Tillaboyev), methodologies for using digital technologies in organizing independent study for students in general astronomy (Sh.P. Begzatova), methodologies for developing professional competence of future physics teachers in the context of an educational cluster (Y.Kh. Khudoyberdiyeva), and methodological research aimed at forming physical thinking in students based on individualized learning (A.O'. Umbarov).

• Energy and Ecological Physics Research: Research is conducted on the use of alternative energy sources, environmental safety, and the development of green technologies. Scientific work is carried out to increase the efficiency of wind and solar energy utilization technologies (U.A. Eshniyozov) and to create energy-saving innovative systems (B.Kh. Eshchanov).

These scientific directions serve to enhance the research potential of the Physics Department, solve modern physical problems, and improve the quality of education.
