Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around recommendations for postgraduate studies in the field of gravity, general relativity, and black holes, particularly for an undergraduate physics student in Greece. The scope includes potential universities and research institutions that focus on cosmology and related areas.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses interest in pursuing research in gravity and related fields and seeks recommendations for universities for postgraduate studies.
  • Another participant suggests looking for universities with strong cosmology groups, mentioning the University of Minnesota and the University of Michigan as options.
  • A later reply adds that the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics in Germany is also a potential institution to consider.
  • There is an acknowledgment that there are many other schools in the US and other countries that may offer relevant programs.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the importance of finding universities with strong cosmology programs, but no consensus is reached on specific institutions beyond those mentioned.

Contextual Notes

Limitations: The discussion does not explore specific criteria for evaluating universities or programs, nor does it address the application process or funding opportunities.

Who May Find This Useful

Undergraduate physics students interested in pursuing research in gravity, general relativity, and cosmology, as well as those considering postgraduate studies in related fields.

Hello from Greece. I am undergraduate physics student in Aristotle university. I am interested in research in gravity, general relativity, black holes etc.
Which university do you suggest me for post graduate studies, phd etc??

Thank you!

If you're into gravity, GR, and black holes, then the field you're interested in is cosmology, so you'll want to find a university with a good cosmology group. I did my undergrad at the University of Minnesota, and I know that they have both theoretical and experimental groups in cosmology, so that's one place to look. I also have a friend who does cosmology at University of Michigan, so perhaps you should look at their website too.

Just a couple of suggestions. There are plenty of other schools in the US that do cosmology research.
 
...and in other countries.
 
Thank you, i will start searching the websites of these universities and we will see..
 
Also, the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics in Germany might be worth looking at: http://www.aei.mpg.de/english/contemporaryIssues/home/index.php
