Choice of research advisor
The Chemical Physics program requires a completed research dissertation. During the first semester in residence, each student should consult with the various faculty members associated with the Chemical Physics program. These consultations should be arranged by the student. They generally involve discussion of the type of research programs of interest to the faculty member. After these consultations, the student chooses a faculty member under whose direction the dissertation research will be performed. The faculty member is asked by the student to serve as the student’s research director and advisor. Choice of the research director should be made no later than the end of the second semester of graduate studies. A list of those faculty affiliated with the Chemical Physics program and their research area is given below.
