The Physics Section
The Physics Section at the University of Geneva provides a lively environment where students, lecturers and researchers meet on a daily basis and work closely together.
The level of research and teaching in the Physics Section is excellent, and is highly competitive in Switzerland, Europe and across the world. UNIGE is currently in 69th position worldwide (out of 20,000) in the University of Shanghai’s classification (2013), and the Faculty of Science as a standalone is ranked in 31st place. Thanks to the outstanding quality of research at world level, the university offers a highly international and open environment, where the atmosphere is conducive to discussion and debate and generating innovative ideas.
The teaching programmes run by the Physics Section offer a comprehensive range of specialisations, with a particular focus on new applications of fundamental physics.

Anomalies in B decays
Flavour-changing neutral currents (FCNCs) only proceed via loop level in the Standard Model and therefore offer an excellent probe for new physics. In the last years, several measurements of rare B decays proceeding via FCNCs have shown deviations from…

Forward Modelling the Universe
Observational cosmology is going through a golden age. In particular, we are in the midst of an influx of data from on-going experiments, such as the Dark Energy Survey (DES). In the coming five years, the volume and quality of data will rapidly increase…

How to squeeze information out of a weak lensing survey and how to get it wrong
The weak gravitational lensing signal generated by the cosmic large-scale structure contains information about the initial conditions of structure formation, the dynamics of the cosmological fluids and the theory of gravity. Because it is “only” based…

Multi-messenger high-energy astrophysics with IceCube and CTA
Multi-messenger high-energy astrophysics is a rising domain thanks to the understood connection between high-energy cosmic-rays, gamma-rays and neutrinos and to the recent measurements that experiments are performing from ground and space. The…

Technology transfer: from academic research to market
Unitec is the Technology Transfer Office of the University of Geneva. Our main activities are licensing of IP and dealing with research contracts. In other words, we help the researchers with their innovation process. For example, a researcher, when…
