Undergraduate physics majors and students from other departments have ongoing opportunities to participate in the experimental and theoretical research projects in the physics department. Half of the Physics majors that have completed the first year physics course are currently participating in research projects throughout the department. For an idea of the type of projects that might be available see the descriptions for the Research Experience for Undergraduate program for summer 2001.
Faculty that currently have undergraduates working with them include: Chen, Hartwell, Knowlton, Thomas.
Faculty that are currently seeking undergraduate students (in addition to the faculty listed above) include:
