The Physics PhD degree offers students the opportunity to perform forefront research in fundamental physics. Areas of research include, but are not restricted to, theoretical and experimental investigations in: atomic and molecular physics, computational physics, high-energy physics, low-temperature/condensed matter physics, materials science, nuclear physics, and quantum optics. The research is supported by state-of-the-art experimental equipment, access to high-performance computing, a variable-energy cyclotron, and many shared campus facilities.
Courses PHYS 601, PHYS 603, PHYS 606, PHYS 607, PHYS 611, PHYS 615, and PHYS 624 and two graduate courses chosen from three distribution electives: high energy/nuclear, atomic and molecular optics/condensed matter and/or astronomy are required for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. More advanced courses in a number of specialized fields are available for candidates for the PhD degree.
As part of the training of the graduate student pursuing an MS or PhD, the Department of Physics and Astronomy recommends that all students serve as teaching assistants for at least two semesters.
