Where we are

Iowa City is a fun place to live

Our department’s two buildings: Van Allen Hall Iowa Advanced Technology Labs

Research areas Astronomy Atomic/Molecular Plasma Space Condensed Matter Optics Photonics Quantum Electronics Interdisciplinary: Mathematical Physics Medical Imaging Nonlinear Dynamics Particle Nuclear

Our research funding External funding = $11.2 million per year Per faculty member, this is one of the best in the Big Ten Funding is important because: It’s a measure of peer review It pays for stipends, travel & labs

Typical courses the first year of grad school Fall Semester Classical Mechanics Electricity and Magnetism I Quantum Mechanics I Spring Semester Statistical Mechanics Electricity and Magnetism II Quantum Mechanics II This sequence prepares a student for the Qualifying Exam (beginning of your second year)

Financial support STIPENDS (AY05-06) Nine months Teaching Asst. $18,000 Research Asst. $18,500 Summer $2,000 - $2,055 / month up to 3 months HEALTH INSURANCE

Teaching assistants Most 1 st year students are supported as TA’s

Choosing a research advisor Research Seminar for 1st year students Meeting faculty

Student research experience giving a talk at an American Physical Society meeting in the lab with advisor

Astronomy Theory Observation Radio & X-ray telescopes Spacecraft Our own optical telescopes in Arizona Faculty: Gayley, Gurnett, Kaaret, Lang, Mutel, Scudder, Spangler, (plus search for new faculty member)

Atomic & Molecular Physics We’re interdisciplinary - you may choose an advisor in: our department or the Department of Chemistry Faculty: Physics & Astronomy: Kleiber, Skiff Chemistry: Grassian, Jensen, Young

Condensed Matter We’ve grown: > 11 labs Quantum-mechanical topics: semiconductor spintronics & optoelectronics, superconductivity, magnetism Soft-condensed-matter topics: colloidal crystals Faculty: Boggess, Flatté, Goree, Prineas, Pryor, Schweitzer, Smirl, Wohlgenannt
