Research and the thesis

Research in physics and data science encompasses, among other things, the development of algorithms for the analysis and interpretation of spectroscopic data, the optimization of new materials based on numerical simulations and/or experimental data, and the analysis of electron microscopy images... For example, light extraction from LEDs has been optimized using genetic algorithms.

By classifying abstract data, machine learning enables intelligent decision-making based on the automatic analysis of this data. It also makes it possible to propose novel materials based on the properties of existing solids.

Master's degree (120 credits) in Physical Sciences, with a specialization in Biophysics

Biophysics

Physics plays a key role in understanding living matter, studying the effects of radiation on organisms, and improving medical imaging and treatments.

By analyzing interactions between molecules, tissues, and materials, physicists help explain the efficacy or side effects of drugs and design implants and biomaterials that are safer and more compatible with the human body.

The study of interactions between radiation and living matter—whether natural, environmental, or used in radiation therapy—enables the identification of damage mechanisms, the development of radiation protection strategies, and the creation of more targeted cancer treatments better tailored to each patient.

Biophysics thus sheds light on essential questions for health, personalized medicine, and the protection of people exposed to radiation.

Your goals

Gain a thorough understanding of the interactions between radiation and biological matter;
Master the scientific approach to investigating the physical properties of biological models and living matter;
Analyze the properties of model systems to better understand biophysical processes and biological functions;
Apply your skills to preclinical studies;
Participate in interdisciplinary, fundamental, and applied research;
Apply new knowledge in interdisciplinary practical work.

Careers for Physicists

Physicists' professions

A wide range of skills

Thanks to their multidisciplinary training—physics, mathematics, computer science, materials science, physical chemistry, modeling, and data analysis—physicists possess a versatile and highly sought-after skill set. They have access to a wide range of careers, spanning scientific, technological, and cross-functional fields:

Industry and R&D: development of innovative materials, quality control, instrumentation, industrial processes, and the energy sector.
Hospital and biomedical sectors: medical radiophysics, imaging, biophysics, development of devices and sensors.
Digital and data: data analysis, modeling, AI, scientific programming, technology consulting.
Finance and insurance: risk management, quantitative modeling, predictive analytics.
Environment and energy: air quality, energy transition, renewable energy, environmental monitoring and modeling.
Nanotechnology and high technology: quantum devices, advanced optics, micro- and nanofabrication.
Research and education: university research, public or private research centers, secondary and higher education.
Public sector and institutions: scientific analysis, technical expertise, innovation, energy or environmental policies.

Rigorous, with strong analytical skills, excellent mathematical modeling abilities, and a broad scientific background, physicists contribute to the advancement of knowledge and the development of applications that benefit humanity.

All these high-value-added skills make physicists highly sought-after professionals in the job market.

Developing industrial applications

In industry, physicists participate in the development of high-tech or highly specialized products (such as energy-saving treated glass, safer sheet metal for the automotive industry, cyclotrons for nuclear medicine, etc.). They also hold key leadership roles downstream from research and development, particularly in production departments.

Computer Science and Telecommunications

A solid background in computer science enables physicists to work in IT services companies (consulting) or in any type of user organization (banks, insurance companies,
etc.). The telecommunications sector, in particular, relies on physicists’ expertise in optics, electronics, and information processing.

Sharing a Passion for the Real World

Among the career paths open to physicists, teaching and the education sector in general remain highly promising. More than 15% of our professionally active graduates share their passion for the real world by teaching physics, as well as science and mathematics, at universities or in upper secondary schools.

Physics and Medicine

In hospital settings, physicists work alongside physicians: they help develop treatment plans for patients receiving nuclear medicine care; they ensure quality control of various medical imaging devices; and they also contribute to the development of new analytical technologies.

Expert Physicists

Government agencies rely on the expertise of physicists. They help shape policies in energy, the environment, space, and other fields, for example by providing advice on research priorities.

Pushing the boundaries of our knowledge

According to a survey of our alumni, about half of recent graduates begin their professional careers with experience in scientific research, primarily in academic settings, in Belgium or abroad.

Other physicists continue their research work at cutting-edge research institutes in highly specialized fields (such as CENAERO, a center of excellence in aeronautics in Gosselies; CERN, the particle physics laboratory in Geneva; SCK-CEN, the nuclear energy research center in Mol; or the Royal Meteorological Institute).

Testimonials from former students

The research institute where I work focuses on the composition of our atmosphere and air quality. We develop analytical techniques to continuously
measure the concentration of a series of key atmospheric gases using both satellite and ground-based instruments. These activities are conducted in an international context in collaboration with major European agencies such as the ESA and EUMETSAT.
Christophe — Institute of Space Aeronomy

Thanks to the work I completed during my PhD at UNamur and the connections I made, I am now a postdoctoral researcher at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab in California. My time is divided between lab work, analyzing results, and writing scientific papers or proposals. In the lab, the tasks are varied and include both highly technical and highly specialized aspects, such as laser alignment, sample preparation, and data acquisition. Analyzing results involves, in particular, developing code.
Frédéric — Lawrence Berkeley National Lab

At UNamur, I gained a solid background in physics as well as a passion for optical phenomena in living organisms, such as their coloration. I am currently conducting
research on the fluorescence of beetles and butterflies. This research is interdisciplinary and allows me to work not only with physicists, but also with biologists, chemists, and engineers. The goal is to understand the influence of color on the behavior of living organisms in order to develop new technological applications inspired by nature.
Sébastien — University of Exeter in the United Kingdom

After completing my PhD at UNamur, where I gained solid multidisciplinary knowledge, I spent two years doing postdoctoral research at a marine biology institute in San Diego. Now, I work as a business consultant across all areas: market research, sales and procurement reorganization, and support for tenders.
