A&S WOWS Special Department Feature: Physics at WashU

The Department of Physics at Washington University in St. Louis leads various research investigations across physics and astronomy to advance humanity's understanding of the physical universe, from subatomic scales of the quantum world to the largest structures in the Cosmos. With over 35 faculty members and federal and private research grant awards amounting to over $10M per year, we have an energetic and growing community of exceptional physicist scholars and provide ample mentorship and technical and financial resources to our PhD students to help them become impactful leaders in academia and beyond.

In this week's special A&S WOWS session focused on the Department of Physics, log in and look forward to information on Physics' research thrusts and century-old Physics PhD program, fellowship opportunities, and life on campus and in Greater St. Louis. This featured session will begin with a ~20-minute presentation and follow that up by answering questions. At least one current graduate student will join the session to provide the student perspective.

In the meantime, you can learn about our current research thrusts on the Physics' website (https://physics.wustl.edu/), which spans astronomy and astrophysics, particle and nuclear physics, cosmochemistry and astromaterials, biophysics, quantum information, and condensed matter physics. Furthermore, the McDonnell Center for the Space Sciences (MCSS) supports the missions of Physics and other research initiatives in astrophysics, and the Center for Quantum Leaps (CQL) and the Institute of Materials Science \& Engineering (IMSE) enable the development of novel quantum sensing techniques using quantum materials.
