The CM group's research spans a wide range of topics, mirroring the extensive scope of this major physics subfield. Presently, their key focus areas include exploring the basic physics of nanostructured metals, semiconductors, and organic materials. This encompasses studying their growth and formation processes, surface and interface characteristics, structural attributes, as well as their ultrafast and nonlinear optical behaviors. The group employs various computational methods, from Density Functional Theory to Quantum Monte Carlo, for theoretical materials analysis, alongside exploring applications in quantum information science. This research is largely driven by these materials' promising applications in developing advanced nanoelectronic components, optoelectronic systems, and optical/nano-optical devices, particularly in the quantum technology domain.

Qualification Requirements
The Graduate School recommends applicants have at least a 3.0 GPA or B average when applying.
For transcripts from schools abroad, the UMBC Graduate School will accept official WES (World Education Services) ICAP Course-by-Course evaluations but note that these evaluations are not required.
Students who are unable to meet the minimum GPA standards may still be admitted to graduate study by demonstrating outstanding performance on one or more of the graduate aptitude tests or by providing letters of recommendation from evaluators who can speak to the applicant's performance as a student or in a professional capacity.
Standards for admission to a doctoral program are generally higher than those for admission to a master's program. The terms of this admission are based on specific recommendations made by the applicant's department in conjunction with the Graduate School.
minimum TOEFL score of 80
TOEFL Essentials test is 8.5. Our ETS institution code is 5835.
The IELTS minimum is a total score of 6.5 for students wishing to study at UMBC.
