Our program, which offers a Ph.D. in experimental and theoretical condensed matter physics and biophysics, emphasizes active learning \u2014 with research beginning in a student\u2019s first semester. This style, combined with our intimate size and the access students have to equipment not usually found at a university of our size, builds independence in a supportive, collaborative environment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our community<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The physics doctoral program seeks independent students who are willing to work hard and collaborate closely with our world-class faculty, postdoctoral research associates, visiting scholars, and undergraduate students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program\u2019s intimate size within a small, urban research university allows for interdisciplinary work with our research partners in biology, biochemistry and molecular biology, chemistry, and mathematics and computer science. As such, there\u2019s a sense of community and shared purpose among our diverse group of students in and outside of our labs and research groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
