Interdisciplinary Research
The intellectual environment for research in the Princeton Physics Department
extends far beyond the walls of Jadwin Hall. In the first place, there
are Associated Faculty. These are
faculty from other departments who are interested in being research supervisors
for Physics students and whose research interests are such that we are
happy to give a Physics degree for such work. There are
Associated Faculty in
Math, Chemistry, Molecular Biology, Electrical Engineering, Chemical
Engineering and Plasma Physics.
Next, there are at least two major campus interdisciplinary
institutes in which Physics faculty (and students) play an important role:
the Princeton Materials
Institute and the
Institute for Integrative Genomics
Finally, there are the projects that grow out of shared
intellectual interests and rely on no special formal framework.
They involve Physics faculty and graduate students and scientists in
other departments and other institutions (most notably, the
Institute for Advanced Studies,
NEC Research Institute and
Bell Labs).
As time goes on
we will make information about these activities accessible through
this site.
