Need suggestions for PhD on Computational Physics

[Abdul Quader]

Though there are several posts regarding Compuational Physics, I think my post is a little bit different from them. Currently I am doing my MS in Physics in Miami University and I am in my first year. I am searching a PhD program/group who work experimental and theoretical (computational) work in Condensed Matter Physics. I am doing a research on magnetism lately. Thanks in advance.

That's pretty broad. May I suggest you do some google scholar searches, find recent papers of interest, and investigate the groups that did the work.

Thanks Dr. Courtney. I am trying. I am a newbie. I tried to start this kind of work here at Miami University but couldn't.

Computation CM also overlaps with theoretical chemistry. Many programs would allow you to be in the physics department while doing research with a professor in that area. What kind of CM are you interested in? There are actually a lot of really good people at Rutgers, many doing stuff involving ferroelectrics and some computational work on topological materials.

Hi Radium,
Thanks for responding. I am in the physics department. I want to work in a group who does work both on experimental and theory by themselves. I want to learn the experimental physics and computation work. What do you mean by "kind" - i don't understand, sorry. If you are talking about overlapping with theoretical chemistry, then I say I don't want that. Yeah, the research topic you mentioned attracts me as well. If you more info please help me, I find it hard to find papers using google scholars.

I understand what kind means now--------- I am basically interested in solid state physics/materials science and engineering.
