Visiting Cornell Physics

 

 

 

 

 

If you have applied or are interested in applying to our Ph.D. program and would like to visit, please complete this form. A visit schedule will be arranged for you, including meetings with professors in your chosen field of research.

On Mondays during the academic year, the physics community gathers for a luncheon and informal discussion at 12:00 p.m. and reassembles at 4:00 p.m. for a weekly physics colloquium. You are welcome to join us at both.

The Physics Department is located in Clark Hall, which can be found on East Avenue on this map.

You may also wish to participate in a campus tour while you are here. The campus tour schedule and information can be found here.

  • Dan Gonnella is a graduate student in the superconducting radio-frequency group, working with Professor Matthias Liepe. He is using temperature mapping equipment to measure temperature profiles of superconducting cavities at high accelerating gradients. High gradient operation is essential for the development of future particle accelerators and light sources. Dan’s research focuses on exploring the properties of superconducting cavities just below their quench field, where they transition from the superconducting to normal conducting state.
