Most current research work involves energy related science and technology. Students
often struggle with the choice between physics, applied physics, and engineering.
This type of research is ideal for exposing the student to all three, and
for providing an interdisciplinary work environment for both scientists
and engineers. In the last eight years fifteen research papers have
been published, including seven co-authored by undergraduates.
Students who have participated in the research effort have entered or are entering the following fields:
Physics
Environmental Science and Engineering
Applied Physics
Mechanical Engineering
Physical Chemistry Electrical Engineering
Civil Engineering
These students now attend or have attended the following graduate schools:
Cornell University Stanford
University
Univ. of Michigan Univ. of
Minnesota
