GRADUATE STUDIES: Graduate students from a range of disciplines (Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, and Mechanical Engineering) have the opportunity to study the response of materials at extreme conditions with internationally renowned scientists at the Institute for Shock Physics (ISP).
Graduate students working within their respective academic departments and ISP will conduct exciting research projects for their Ph.D. degrees. The Institute emphasizes partnerships with faculty members from other major academic institutions and researchers from the National Laboratories (Lawrence Livermore, Los Alamos, and Sandia) to address significant scientific challenges, including the Washington State University (WSU) operated Dynamic Compression Sector (DCS), located at Argonne National Laboratory (Argonne, IL).
FINANCIAL SUPPORT: Competitive awards are available for outstanding Ph.D. students.
