Northwestern University: located in Evanston, Illinois, near Chicago. The school is adjacent to Lake Michigan with pleasant scenery. Northwest University is a famous American university, with a famous Keglo Business School, and its research strength in materials science (MSE) also belongs to the national top3 level.

The deadline of physics department is 65438+February 3 1, and ibt requires 100.

The department of physics is medium-sized, characterized by strong interdisciplinary research strength, more cooperation with MSE, ECE, chemistry and other departments, and close ties with Argonne National Laboratory (the first national laboratory in the United States) and Fermilab.

The direction of condensed matter is not big, and theoretical research mainly focuses on macroscopic quantum effects, quantum fluids, nanostructures and material properties. The research of the experimental group includes lattice and interface, mesoscopic physics (mainly superconducting and nano-materials), superconducting and ultra-low temperature physics.

The direction of AMO includes optical properties of materials, molecular physics, quantum communication and quantum computing. Professor Kumar studies quantum communication, quantum cryptography and all-optical networks, and his direction is promising.

High-energy physics is a relatively large research group, and many professors conduct research in Fermilab, Brookhaven Laboratory and other scientific research institutions.

Northwest University also has an interdisciplinary program of theoretical and applied mechanics, including solid and fluid mechanics. There are many professors, mainly me, and some BME and other professors. His research interests include micromechanics, computational mechanics and composite materials. Students interested in mechanics can consider this project. Website: http://www.tam.northwestern.edu/
