Chris describes research on computational surface physics done with Dr. Caragiu at a recent meeting of the Ohio-region Section of the American Physical Society.
ONU physics students enjoy rigorous classes in physics together with the opportunity to do on-campus research with faculty members during the school year. ONU physics majors are often selected for summer research fellowships (REU's or Research Experience for Undergraduates) at other universities and national laboratories. Many ONU physics majors pursue further education in graduate and professional programs.
