About

About this blog: Physicsnews is devoted to news and events in the University of Richmond physics department, and particularly to the accomplishments of our current students.  For comments, corrections, suggestions, or for more information, please contact Jack Singal.

About our department: Our faculty are dedicated to teaching our students in an interactive and engaging setting, with small class sizes and top-notch equipment and facilities.  All of our tenure-line faculty are active in research, giving many opportunities for our students to be involved as well.

About our students: We are recently graduating between 10 and 15 physics majors each year.  Our students are intellectually curious with diverse interests both within and beyond physics; many are double majors .  Almost all of our physics majors are doing research, typically becoming active by their sophomore years.  Many of them also travel, either as part of a semester abroad program or to present their work at scientific conferences.
