Candidates with previous education in physics, chemistry, engineering are offered a new, attractive field of study in Materials Science. The graduate program in Materials Science will contribute to the understanding of the relationships that exist between the structure/composition and physical properties of materials. The behavior of the materials will be investigated from the viewpoint of the effects induced by their processing and their use in fabrication of devices.
A new training program in astronomy and space science is being developed by faculty at Fisk together with Dr. Keivan Stassun and his colleagues at Vanderbilt University. Several teaming members from other institutions are also collaborating in the project.
This program is connected to the Fisk-Vanderbilt joint Masters-PhD program
We also offer in partnership with Vanderbilt the Fisk/Vanderbilt Dual Degree in Science and Engineering Program
Summers are the busiest time for student training in our research group, in particular working with undergraduates from Fisk and other institutions who are participating in the department's Summer Research Program and NSF-supported Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program. Here is a photo of happy participants.
I had the opportunity to teach a course I helped develop, PHYS 359 described below.
