The doctoral program in this family requires TOEFL score 100. I wanted to apply for a complete life in this family, but I had to give it up because of TOEFL. There are three majors related to physics: applied physics, biophysics and physics. The deadline for applied physics is 65438+ 10/6, and the deadline for physics department is 65438+February 16, so we should start preparations as soon as possible. Biophysics can be applied in biological science.
In the research direction, applied physics is a big department with many facilities. Accelerator physics is a key direction, which may also be because of Stanford's powerful linear accelerator. In addition, condensed matter and material physics, nanotechnology and photonics also have strong strength. Many professors' research directions often span multiple fields.

Relatively speaking, the research direction of physics department is relatively basic, but there are also application directions such as quantum electronics, polymer physics and laser physics. However, professors of applied physics and physics departments are often part-time, so physics departments should also have the opportunity to participate in applied research.

In addition, Steven Chu, a Chinese Nobel Prize winner in physics, was a professor in the Department of Applied Physics and the Department of Physics before he became the US Secretary of Energy.
