About the course

This is an interdisciplinary program between condensed matter physics and physical chemistry, which is designed to eliminate the barrier between these two disciplines. Students with a B.S. in Physics, Chemistry, or Materials Science and Engineering, are encouraged to apply to the program. The goal of the concentration in Chemical, Applied, and Materials Physics (ChAMP) is to provide students with a broad interdisciplinary education in the applied physical sciences that emphasizes modern laboratory and computational skills. The program accepts students for both the M.S. and the Ph.D. Upon admission to the program, students are assigned two faculty advisors, one from the Department of Physics and Astronomy, and one from the Department of Chemistry, to provide guidance on curriculum and career planning.

　　The curriculum for the M.S. and Ph.D. programs includes a summer session to assimilate students with different undergraduate backgrounds, formal shop, laboratory, and computational courses, a sequence on current topics to bridge the gap between fundamental principles and applied technology, and a course to develop communication skills.
