The Senior Program

All senior physics students work collaboratively with faculty members on research projects as part of the Senior Program. This intensive one-semester project combines original scientific research with reading and understanding the scientific literature. It culminates in a senior thesis that is defended in a series of oral presentations. The Senior Program reflects Hamilton's commitment to a strong grounding in writing and public speaking.

Recent projects in physics include:

  • Characterization of Heterodimer of Cr7Mn Using Custom Loop Gap Resonators
  • Can We Use NETMAP, an Algebraic Method for Recovering the Parameters of Resonator Networks, for Electronic Circuits?
  • Distance Distribution Modeling in Spin Systems Using DEER Spectroscopy
  • Get to the Chopper: Developing the Time of Flight System for the BL3 Neutron Lifetime Experiment
  • Characterizing the Thermal Gradient Within Professor Collett’s ESR Cryostat
  • Building an Analog Synthesizer
  • DV-502 Thermal Evaporation System: Leak Detection and Thin Film Deposition
