NIU is collaborating with proton therapy centers in Illinois and California to create an advanced device for proton radiology (2D imaging) and proton tomography (3D imaging). These imaging techniques supplement traditional CT scans (using photons) and MRI results.
The Physics PhD program deepens your understanding of classical and quantum mechanics, statistical physics, and electromagnetic theory. You'll build theoretical expertise and research capabilities in materials science, nanoscience, accelerator physics, and particle physics, equipping you for careers in professional physics, applied physics, or academic instruction.
