Abstract:
The University of Mississippi is a PhD granting institution with an R1 Carnegie designation placing it among schools with the highest level of research activity. The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the university has a diverse range of research opportunities which includes Physical Acoustics. Our acoustics program is affiliated with the National Center for Physical Acoustics (NCPA). NCPA is an 85,000 square foot standalone facility on the campus of the University of Mississippi solely dedicated to the physics and engineering applications of acoustics. It has research groups dedicated to ultrasound, infrasound, aeroacoustics, atmospheric propagation, porous media, and ocean acoustics. Graduate students in both physics and engineering are pursuing PhD and MS degrees at NCPA, and four faculty members from the physics department have their research laboratories in the facility. In addition to acoustics, our department provides a broad range of research opportunities in other subfields. We have two groups associated with recent Nobel Prizes in Gravitation and High Energy Physics and offer additional programs in Computational Physics and Atmospheric Physics. Our faculty are involved with national and international collaborations including the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO), The European Center for Particle Physics (CERN) and Fermilab.
