Computational model of chemo-mechanically driven phase transformations in a model material that represents certain battery materials and alloys. The curved contours are interfaces enclosing tetragonal phases, each of which further separates into twin variants.

Computational model of a two-dimensional in silico model of tumor growt. The colors at the tumor edge show contours of glucose and oxygen concentration, while in the interior we see contours of cancer cell concentrations.

Paul Carson, Ph.D., et al., Radiology, X-ray and ultrasound tomograms of a breast cancer (right side) from a combined system. Optical absorption image by photoacoustics is now included (different breast on the left). Freely available copies of publications by PL Carson are available Here Most publications are listed Here

Duncan Steel, Ph.D. - Physics

Carolyn Kuranz, Ph.D. (R. Paul Drake, Ph.D.) - Atmospheric, Oceanic and Space Science

Roberto Merlin, Ph.D. - Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

Jeffrey Fessler, Ph.D. - Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

Mark Kushner, Ph.D. - Plasma Science and Engineering

Jasper Kok, Ph.D. - Applied Physics

Abigail Mechtenberg, Ph.D. - Applied Physics

Tal Carmon, Ph.D. - Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

Alec Thomas, Ph.D. - Nuclear Engineering and Plasma Physics

Yisa Rumala - Optical vortices.

Joanna Mirecki Millunchick - An SEM micrograph of InAs grown on a pattern of 2x2 µm mesas created by focused ion beam (FIB) milling an InP substrate. The InP substrate was first FIB patterned and then transferred in vacuo to a molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) system for InAs film growth. Growth on the raised mesas produces a less rough and more uniformly faceted InAs film than growth on unpatterned InP.

Vikram Gavini, Ph.D. - Contours of electron-density perturbation around a monovacancy in aluminium. The small red dots denote atoms around the vacancy.

Nick Patterson (R. Paul Drake’s lab) - Rayleigh-Taylor and Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities on a shock wave propagating through a gas.

Professor Fred Becchetti and Mitaire Ojaruega, Ph.D

Professor John E. Foster, University of Michigan Graduate Student, Brandon R. Weatherford, "Visible plume from an electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) waveguide plasma cathode, operating on argon feed gas." Plasma Science and Technology Laboratory Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences University of Michigan.

ingle Molecule Fluorescence Illuminates Alzheimer's. A montage of TIRF images depicts the photobleaching of hundreds of single oligomers of fluorescently labeled amyloid-β(1-40). In the overlaid confocal image, single amyloid-β(1-40) oligomers (black) decorate the DiO-labeled membranes of two SH-SY5Y cells; such aggregates may disrupt neuronal cell membrane integrity, contributing to the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease.

Applied Physics is an interdisciplinary Ph.D. program that bridges physics with emerging technologies

Michigan has a distinguished record of innovation in Applied Physics. With a broad range of multidisciplinary research and access to the most advanced facilities, the program offers a dynamic environment for graduate training. Structured to meet individual goals, our curriculum allows research training blending the discipline of physics with chemistry, engineering, environmental science, geology, medicine, natural resources and public policy.

The University of Michigan Applied Physics Program is committed to a leading role in this endeavor. Current projects include nanoscience and technology, condensed matter and materials physics, optics, energy, plasma and chemical physics, atomic and molecular physics, biophysics, photonics, quantum electronics and information, solid state electronics synchrotron radiation and ultrafast science.

Our graduates are highly sought after to fill leadership positions in research, industry, academia and government. We invite you to look at our website to discover why the opportunities for bridging science and technology have never been more exciting here at the University of Michigan in Applied Physics!

"Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel."
