Undergraduate Research Students

All physics majors (B.S.) at SDSU must undertake and present a research thesis during their senior year. A list of some (but not all) Senior thesis projects is available. See also the previous Undergraduate Thesis Presentations. Some of our undergraduates have taken part in Summer Research experiences at other institutions.

Graduate Research Students

All physics (M.S.) students at SDSU must undertake and defend a research thesis. Our Faculty has expertise across a wide range of research areas. For a cross section, see the previous Graduate Thesis Defences, and explore the Digital Thesis Archive.

For a list of our current Undergraduate research students see the Undergraduate Directory.

For a list of our current Graduate research students see the Graduate Directory.

All students are encouraged to attend the Joint Astronomy-Physics Colloquia.
