About our Physics Ph.D. Program
The physics graduate program at 91成人抖音入口 offers graduate students academic excellence, exciting research opportunities, and competitive financial support in a distinctive environment where shared intellectual work thrives in a liberal arts college setting. Our small size allows students and faculty members to work together closely and for formal graduate course work to be handled in small tutorials, which can be tailored to the needs of the students.
While graduate education is open to both men and women, the culture of the department is one that values and respects women as physicists and creates opportunities for women (and all students) to achieve at the highest levels, with role models at all levels. The program鈥檚 unique position in a women鈥檚 college provides an informed and thoughtful perspective in this regard. All students will leave the program with a heightened sensitivity to, and knowledge of, the importance of training women scientists.
Physics Ph.D. Research Areas
We offer graduate education towards a Ph.D. degree in experimental and theoretical research specialties including ultracold atoms, plasma physics and turbulence, nanoscience and spintronics, biophysics and pattern formation, and quantum field theory and string theory.
Our Strong Physics Ph.D. Community
There are also several departmental events throughout the year, bringing together faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate majors and creating a genuine sense of community in the department. The Physics Journal Club is a unique departmental tradition bringing graduate students and faculty members together to discuss cutting-edge research. Students and faculty take turns leading a discussion on a recently published journal article outside their research field.
In this way, all participants are on a level playing field allowing the group to focus on inquisitiveness and learning. Students are also required to present orally their own research, together with undergraduate students, at the end of summer and once each semester.
In addition to the lively atmosphere in the physics department, the Graduate Group in Science and Mathematics sponsors many cross-disciplinary events for students. Graduate students in Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics convene an interdisciplinary Journal Club in which they discuss the latest in research developments in the STEM fields, and they organize a series of Professional Development Workshops at which faculty members share career advice on a range of topics. An annual Research Symposium for graduate students at Bryn Mawr allows students to present their ongoing work with the larger community.
