The doctoral programme in Applied Physics offers three specialties: Plasma Physics, Optical and Laser Physics, and Solid-State Physics. Plasma physics students work with the Columbia University Plasma Physics Laboratory and Columbia Fusion Research Center; solid-state students use facilities including a microelectronics lab, molecular beam epitaxy and low-temperature, high-field equipment.
Faculty: Columbia Engineering | Department: Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics | Study mode: full-time | Location: New York, NY, United States
All specialties require APPH E4018 Applied Physics Laboratory in the first year. Plasma Physics requires Physics of Fluids, Applied Electrodynamics and Plasma Physics I and II; Optical and Laser Physics (quantum mechanics, nonlinear optics, ultrafast optoelectronics, photon integrated circuits) and Solid-State Physics (electrical, optical, magnetic, thermal and ultrafast properties of solids) have courses set with the adviser.
Plasma Physics prepares students for careers in plasma research, controlled fusion and space research.
Columbia Engineering graduate admissions (faculty level): bachelor's degree from an institution of acceptable standing; application with transcripts, three letters of recommendation, personal statement and resume/CV; GRE not required for the 2026 admission cycle and scores not penalised when omitted (Physics GRE is required for the Applied Physics doctoral track; not required for Medical Physics); applicants whose bachelor's degree is from a country other than Australia, Canada, Ghana, Ireland, Kenya, New Zealand, Nigeria, Singapore, the UK or the US submit one English test (TOEFL iBT, IELTS Academic, PTE Academic or Duolingo), with no minimum score set; application fee $85.
