We look for motivated and enthusiastic undergraduate and graduate students to join our group. Given the interdisciplinary nature of this research, students from departments other than Physics may also apply.
The first step in becoming a Master or Ph.D. student in our group at Baylor University is to be accepted by the department (application deadline – February 15th for the Fall semester).
