Graduate Research Opportunities

Faculty in the Department of Physics and Astronomy are primarily engaged with the following research topics. Detailed information about the research of each faculty member can be found in the Graduate Program Brochures, 

• Accelerator Science and Engineering
• Astronomy and Astrophysics
• Beam Theory
• Biophysics
• Condensed Matter Physics
• High Energy Physics
• Nuclear Physics (Top-ranked graduate program in US by U.S. News & World Report)
• Physics Education Research

In addition, there are a number of adjunct faculty who work in other departments at MSU who perform research in areas closely aligned with physics and who have graduate students from Physics and Astronomy in their research groups.
