I'm a final-year physics student needing ideas for my graduation project. I'll be working with my university's cosmic ray lab and have background in:
  • Data analysis
  • Instrumentation
  • Electronics
Looking for practical project ideas that could combine cosmic ray research with these skills. Any suggestions for interesting physics questions or technical challenges in detection/data analysis would be greatly appreciated!

You should be discussing this with the professors at your lab. They are in the best position to know what projects you can complete within the allotted time with the equipment and expertise on site.
 

Thread 'PSA -- Contact PI's before applying to graduate school in the US'

Given the current funding situation, you should contact potential departments or research groups before you apply and pay any application fees. Many programs are not taking new graduate students at all this cycle because of funding uncertainty, unless a specific advisor can show they already have money to support you for five years. This is what I’ve heard directly from 20–30 programs. Do not waste money applying blindly.
