Overview
Program outline
The researchers in the Physics program at University of California, Merced have access to excellent core facilities on campus, including ultra-fast laser systems, computing clusters, a state-of-the-art electron microscopy facility, a nanofabrication facility and NMR. Other large facilities, such as the synchrotron light sources at Stanford and Berkeley, and the UC Lick Observatory, are a short drive away and are routinely used by our students and faculty members. We also have extensive collaborations with nearby institutions, including Lawrence Livermore and Lawrence Berkeley National Labs, and other UC campuses.
