Physics Graduate Studies Research Research and Faculty Most of the broadly defined research areas of interest in physics are represented in the Department of Physics at Oregon. Optics Interdisciplinary doctoral research is fostered by several research institutes, and it is not unusual to find graduate students in zebu.studying under faculty members in other departments. The institutes most closely associated with zebu. Optics Research opportunities in Geophysics are available in cooperation with the Department of Geological Sciences.
Research is pursued in science education at the master's level.
A great diversity in specialization exists within the broad research areas listed above. Since all doctoral students must eventually secure a research adviser, it is important that prospective students determine whether their potential research interests are adequately represented. For this reason the particular research interests of faculty members in Physics and in the Research Institutes are described in more detail below.
