What you will study

Research fields: Astrophysics and Gravitation, Atomic Molecular and Optical Physic, Biophysics, Chemical Physics, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics, Industrial and Applied Physics, Quantum Computing, Subatomic Physics, Research project opportunities for this program, Observational Cosmology, Seeking MSc and PhD students to work on projects to understand the universe and what drives its evolution. The expansion of the universe is accelerating, and we do not know why. Dark energy, the name given to the mechanism driving this expansion, is unknown. Graduate students will analyze the latest cosmological data to further our understanding., Silicon Thin-Film Applied Research, Dr. Karim's lab at UWaterloo has been developing imaging device technology based on propagation-based X-ray phase-contrast (XPC) for the past decade. With Dr. Keller, we are applying this technology to obtain three-dimensional images of medical tissues with sub-cellular resolution.. Study option(s): Thesis.
