The Physics Department at Stanford University is one of great distinction and has a rich history of innovation. The Stanford graduate school is characterized by a highly flexible approach to graduate education. Graduate students in Physics are allowed to pursue their studies with faculty members in other Departments such as Applied Physics, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering, and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center . The brochures for these groups should be reviewed to get a full view of the current research at Stanford. If you need further information, please write directly to the faculty, c/o Department of Physics.

You can also find some information on the Physics Library, located on the third floor of the Varian building.
