Senior Project

Purdue physics majors are also encouraged to participate in a state-of-the-art research project. A two-semester course sequence, the Senior Project offers one-on-one collaboration with a professor chosen from a highly regarded physics faculty. The collaborating professors are usually chosen based on their research interests. The research specialties include condensed matter physics, nanotechnology, nonlinear optics, biological physics, high-energy nuclear and particle physics, astrophysics, accelerator mass spectrometry, and applied physics.
