Students are encouraged to submit this short form to register their interest in Phys437 for the W27 term, and any preferences for research topic PHYS 437A/B Research Preferences Form. The form should be submitted by Friday Oct 9. This list will be provided to potential supervisors, and we will also suggest to you the names of faculty who are available to supervise in your area of interest. The objective is to try to help you identify a potential match within about two weeks (i.e. by Oct 23). Alternatively, you may reach out to faculty members directly to inquire about potential supervision, at any time. All faculty members of the Department of Physics and Astronomy (including adjunct and cross-appointed faculty) are eligible to supervise. Occasionally, faculty from other departments will agree to be supervisors, especially if a student has a particular interest in their research areas. If the supervisor is not from the Department of Physics and Astronomy, a co-supervisor from the department will need to be arranged.
With either method, once a supervisor has been identified, you must complete the Research Project Agreement for PHYS 437 A/B. The process will not begin until this agreement form has been completed. Once the registration process has begun, you will receive an email with further details.
Please see the Department research pages to learn about active areas of research.
Students are encouraged to see at least two faculty members to discuss projects with them.
The latest date to make final arrangements for your project and notify the Physics Undergraduate Office is the end of the second week of lectures.
* Please note: students are not automatically enrolled into PHYS 437B after completion of PHYS 437A. A new form submission is required for continuation in the PHYS 437 research project course.
