Research Overview

Students in the Department of Physics and Astronomy have many opportunities to get involved in research at any level in their education at BYU. Graduate students each complete a significant research experience, and undergraduate Physics, Physics and Astronomy, and Applied Physics majors are each required to do research leading to a thesis or capstone report, respectively. Teaching majors are also encouraged to participate also. Below we list several opportunities for research with the faculty. 

Research Group Meeting Times

Research groups generally meet weekly during Fall and Winter semesters. These are generally open meetings where visitors are welcome. Some professors have individual research group meetings not listed below.
