Research Opportunities
Research Interests:
Theoretical
soft-condensed matter physics. The
relation between
structure, dynamics, and driving mechanisms in ordered and
disordered
particulate media. Computer modelling of super-cooled
liquids and
glasses, colloidal suspensions, foams, and granular matter.
Open House
Several times a year SIU puts on an Open House event, where prospective
students come and talk with departmental representatives. Here is the
Department of Physics Open House
presentation. It gives an overview of what
physics is about, applications of physics, and potential employment
with a physics
degree. There is also a section summarizing the faculty in the
department. Some
simulation movies too, if you can view them.
If you have any questions about enrolling in the Department of Physics
please contact myself,
the Chair,
or the administrative
staff here in Physics.
