Graduate Physics program at UMass Lowell: While our nominal deadline for Ph.D. applications is Jan 15, we will be giving full consideration to applications received by Feb 1 this year. Candidates who were unable to take the GRE due to the pandemic can request a waiver by emailing our Graduate coordinator with their application ID.
Here’s an electronic version of our 36-page brochure, Merging Science with Technology, that describes research activities in the Department of Physics and Applied Physics at the University of Massachusetts Lowell.
Our campus is located twenty-five miles northwest of Boston, with a student population of over 18,000. We have 30 full-time faculty, approximately 75 graduate students and 100 undergraduate majors in the Department of Physics and Applied Physics. The Department has external grant and contract funding of over $10 million per year. Faculty research areas include advanced materials, astronomy and astrophysics, biomedical optics, biophysics, cosmology, medical physics, electromagnetic metamaterials, nanoscience and laser applications, nuclear physics (both fundamental and applied), photonics, plasma physics, quantum information, radiological health physics, soft condensed matter, space physics and terahertz technology. We are very excited about the strong cohort of researchers we have hired in the last few years who are adding new directions to our research strengths. More information is available on our website.
We are featured in the AIP website. Information on graduate schools applications and admissions are available as well as online application forms.
Please feel free to contact me or Prof. Viktor Podolskiy, our Graduate Program Coordinator (Viktor_Podolskiy@uml.edu) if you have any questions about our programs.
