Graduate Program in Physics
The Physics Graduate Program
The MA program in Physics at Fisk University seeks to prepare its students to be successful in any area requiring knowledge of advanced physics. Student preparation includes a variety of experiences, all of which are aimed at creating well-rounded critical thinkers. The program is built on a combination of formal course work, laboratory training and active graduate-level research.
The program illustrates the mission of the University through emphasis on physics and interdisciplinary research. The program’s goal is to provide research activities and courses in physics and related areas to allow graduate students to be able to successfully enter Ph.D. programs or careers in the sciences.
主席欢迎辞
Arnold Burger obtained the B.Sc. degree in Physics-数学 (1976), M.A. in Materials Science (1981), and Ph. D. in Materials Science (1986), all from the The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. In 1986 he joined the Department of Physics at Fisk University and since then he has developed at Fisk a program in crystal growth of wide bandgap semiconductor materials and their use in electronic and optical devices. He participates presently in the research at the Center for Physics and Chemistry of Materials. 目前,博士. Burger is a Professor in the Department of Life and Physical Sciences and the Director of the Materials Science and Applications Group. He also holds the position of adjunct professor of physics in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Vanderbilt University. Dr. Burger advised over 70 graduate students and 16 postdoctoral scholars; has published over 400 papers, 书的章节, proceedings and invited presentations and was awarded seven patents in these fields. 2010年，Dr。. Burger was appointed to a three-year term as a member representative to the Board of the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA). Dr. Burger is an elected Phi Beta Kappa Honorary Member and a Fellow of the SPIE optics and photonics society and together with his colleagues and collaborators is a three-time recipient of the R&D 100奖项, in 1998, 2001, and 2010 for developing new methods to grow crystals and various compact sensors to detect and image radiation.

在菲斯克的时候, I have been blessed with the opportunity of not only being able to nourish my love for science, but I have also been able to grow spiritually through our Chapel on campus. After graduating from Fisk, I will be continuing my education and plan to attend Nursing School in my hometown of Knoxville, 田纳西州.
