For Amherst students interested in theoretical physics

For Amherst students interested in engineering

Thinking about graduate school in the physical sciences or engineering? The AAPT graduate school guide might be useful.

Interested in the Health Professions (medicine, dentistry, public health, veterinary, nursing)? I sit on the Health Professions Committee HPC), which provides advice to students on these matters. There is a wealth of information on the Health Professions Committee webpage.

Interested in summer research in physics or a related field away from Amherst? The National Science Foundation (NSF) funds paid summer research programs at a variety of universities and labs through their Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program. Have a look at the NSF REU page

Are you interested in being a theoretical physicist at a primarily undergraduate institution? The Anacapa Society is a new professional society dedicated to supporting research in theoretical physics at primarily undergraduate institutions. It is permanently hosted at Amherst College. I'm a founding member and the liaison to Amherst College.
