Good Universities for Quantum Gravity (phd)

[SuperStringboy]

Can you tell me about good Math and physics departments has good faculties of mathematical physics or quantum gravity ? I will contact prof about phd information.

I'll go over Canada, for quantum gravity:

You best bet is these two (linked) places:
Universities of Guelph/Waterloo: http://gwp.on.ca/research/index.html
Perimeter Institute: http://www.perimeterinstitute.ca/

Some smaller research groups on QG are, among others, at:
University of Western Ontario: http://www.apmaths.uwo.ca/theorphys.shtml
University of Toronto: http://www.physics.utoronto.ca/research/subatomic/thep/people
University of British Columbia: http://www.physics.ubc.ca/research/particle.php

You might want to specify where: which country, which region, if you have any preferences. Have you tried looking on the internet?

I will choose Canada, usa, Uk

Yes perimeter institute is a good choice. Lee smolin is there. Surfing net i have found in uk - Nottingham , York math department has good strength. In usa - Penn State.

Dear Cristo,
No i am not tired. I have been searching for few days. I have started this thread bcoz i will get some recommendation and comments from all of you. Bcoz i should choose i good one.

Thanks friend

Well, as always I like to hype up my own University (McGill). A lot of professors here seem to be doing interesting things in String Theory and Cosmology (although I'm not sure if that's exactly what you have in mind when you say Quantum Gravity). You should read some of the professor's pages under Theoretical High Energy here

Thanks i will visit.. I am actually looking for Loop Quantum Gravity. Not String theory, although my user name is SuperStringBoy !:tongue2:

Forgot to mention Louisiana State University ( for Jorge pullin) and UC riverside math dpt. for John Baez

Perimeter is a good place. I know some people there.

George Jones stumbled upon an interesting article about a possible addition to Perimeter: http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=245281

Thanks robphy.its really interesting... Oh i need to appear physics sub gre... for perimeter inst....

Is LQG developing much quicker in uk,canada,france than usa?

[SuperStringboy]

Any more tips from anybody?

Have a Plan B in case pursuing Quantum Gravity doesn't work out for you.

Good suggestion ... !:surprised
