Master Thesis in Quantum Gravity

AI Thread Summary
Tomas, a theoretical physics student in Sweden, is seeking recommendations for universities abroad where he can study quantum gravity and complete his master's thesis. He notes the lack of research opportunities in this field at his current institution. Suggestions include Uppsala University, recognized for its strong theoretical physics division, particularly in string theory, which is relevant to understanding quantum gravity. The discussion emphasizes the importance of finding a supportive professor for thesis supervision and acknowledges that while string theory is significant, it is not the only approach to quantum gravity research.

Hello everyone.

Im studying theoretical physics in sweden and I would like to go abroad for my last year to take some courses and write my master thesis within the field of quantum gravity.

Do you have any suggestions on where I should try to go?

As there is no research within that field at my university I have a tough time finding a good place I could go to and also a good professor to supervise my thesis, any suggestions on that?

Thanks
Tomas

Why not Uppsala University which has one of Europes best divisions of Theoretical (string theory) physics?

They should be able to help you write thesis in Quantum Gravity for sure! :-)

For Quantum Gravity, String theory isn't the only game in town.
 
No of course not, but in order to do string theory, "problem" of quantum gravity must be understood
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
