Hi all,
I would like to some details about the physics department of the Iowa State University.
My main interest is about material physics. So if you know the the Physics program please give me pros and cons about that.
I got admission for the Iowa state. I have applied to couple of universities and I'm waiting for them also.

Thanks

Iowa State is an outstanding school for material science. It is one of those "unknown" gems that many people don't know of. Its close proximity to the Ames Laboratory is its big advantage.

Thanks ZapperZ,
I also got admision from University of Nebraska Lincoln, as I heard it also good for the material physics. I if you know some details about UNL, then it will be very seful for me

Thanks
 

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...

Thread 'Tips for a CS and physics major'

Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
