2017 Graduate Introduction to Research

Every year the Physics Department holds an "Introduction to Research" event where faculty and senior graduate students present an overview of their research activities.  This event is primarily aimed at students seeking a research group and project, but everyone is invited. Below are the posters presented at the event on February 3, 2017.
