I'm not sure what lead you to this but I am not trying to get into cosmology/particle physics. My undergraduate degree was in Physics and I assume I would be most successful in a Physics PhD program, however, I am noticing there are also biophysics programs so I was wondering what would be the...
Thanks for the insight Choppy, I will keep that in mind when applying to a PhD program.
If I may ask, what did your friend specifically do his PhD research on? Was his background in physics and/or did he know a fair amount of chemistry? Sorry for the bother but your answers could very well...
Hi Choppy. I actually didn't know that Biophysics is itself a "field." I figured it was something like Condensed Matter or High-energy that is usually done in a Physics department. But after some googling, I see that some schools have a Biophysics department, such as Johns Hopkins.
I understand...
Thanks for the reply. I'm glad to hear that I could potentially end up in those departments. I guess the most fundamental question in my post was what you are asking -- does it matter what its called? I personally think no, but I have no experience with hiring professors/people.
Hi everyone,
Long time lurker here coming out to make my first post. I just finished my B.Sc. in Physics and I am getting ready to apply to graduate schools in the Fall of 2015. I did some undergraduate research in experimental biophysics (understanding the statistics of the transport of...
