Physics | Doctoral Degree
University of Vermont
Undergraduate majors in physics are considered for admission to the program. Satisfactory scores on the Graduate Record Examination (general) are required.
Description
Research within the department is broadly defined in two major focus areas: Theoretical and Experimental Condensed Matter Physics, which includes dynamics of quantum systems with application to electronic, magnetic, optical, structural, and thermal properties of nanomaterials (eg. fullerene-derived solids and nanotubes); quantum many-body physics, electronic properties of graphene and its derivatives, strongly-correlated electronic systems and quantum magnetism, spintronics, optical properties and magnetism of thin films, organic semiconductors, nanostructured materials, solid state battery materials & interfaces, and ferroelectric superlattice materials (professors: Clougherty, Kotov, Headrick, Kozen, White, Dawber); and Biological Physics: which includes structures and dynamics of biological macromolecules; properties and dynamics of tissues and tumors; design of new drugs and bio-inspired materials; development of novel theoretical and computational methods at multiple scales in biology; and applications of machine learning and AI in biophysics and soft matter. (Professors: Yue, Ma).
Financial Assistance
Funding, Grants, & Scholarships
