The Physics Department demonstrates outstanding expertise across multiple disciplines. We welcome applications from talented students pursuing studies in experimental and theoretical condensed matter physics, structural biophysics with a focus on protein dynamics and function, as well as cosmology, relativistic astrophysics, and gravitational-wave/multimessenger astronomy. Our graduate program prioritizes developing innovative research scientists. In gravitational physics, our work spans multiple fronts: We hold a prominent position in LIGO's gravitational-wave detection efforts, identifying signals from merging neutron stars and black holes while searching for associated electromagnetic phenomena, alongside utilizing pulsars to detect gravitational waves emitted by supermassive black holes. Our relativistic astrophysics research involves determining constraints on neutron star properties and advancing computational methods for simulating stellar mergers. Astronomical investigations encompass early galaxy formation, stellar evolution, and the characteristics of neutron stars and white dwarfs. Condensed matter physics research, both experimental and theoretical, concentrates on quantum materials, exploring quantum transport effects, superconductivity, magnetic properties, and unconventional material phases.
