Doctor of Philosophy in Physics (STEM)

Program Overview

The Ph.D. in Physics candidate at Illinois Tech is expected to conduct meaningful, original research that makes a significant contribution to the field, while expanding their own knowledge.

Research in this program is organized into small groups of faculty members, postdoctoral associates, graduate students, and undergraduate students working closely on related projects. The principal active areas include experimental and theoretical elementary particle physics, synchrotron radiation physics, accelerator physics, structural and computational biophysics, magnetism and electrodynamics. Classes are generally small and informal, and thesis research is carried out in close collaboration with a faculty adviser.

Illinois Tech is a major research institution with connections to Argonne National Laboratory, Fermilab, and global physics experiments like Daya Bay. Major areas of research include particle and accelerator physics, condensed matter physics, superconductivity, biophysics, and computational biophysics. Faculty have special expertise in areas such as X-ray synchrotron radiation research.
