This is a list of some potential research projects. It is still under construction and is not exhaustive. Due to the ever-changing nature of research, it is subject to change without further notice. Nonetheless, it will give you a sense of the types of projects available.
Projects can range from simple to advanced, depending on the students interest and background.
Professor James Freericks Professor Freericks works in a number of different areas of theoretical solid-state physics. This research is supported by the National Science Foundation and the Office of Naval Research. My recent emphasis has been in the fields of superconductivity, magnetism, and crystallization. Senior thesis projects would typically involve both analytical work and computational work in one of these areas. All of these research projects require a good working knowledge of quantum mechanics, an introduction to computer programming, and an eagerness to learn new things.
