geekusprimus Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Hi, everyone, I recently got accepted to both Penn State and Georgia Tech for a PhD in physics. I have yet to visit the schools, so I'm certainly not basing my decision on what anyone here says alone. My interests are in numerical relativity. Now, Penn State is probably a stronger school overall for gravitation, but the faculty member there doing numerical relativity, David Radice, is brand new and just barely finished a postdoc (read: probably hasn't earned tenure yet). Georgia Tech, on the other hand, has a large gravity group with some very prominent faculty in numerical relativity. Their rankings in physics overall are pretty comparable according to the US News (#25 vs #28), and they're both offering me pretty generous stipends. What do any of you know about these schools and their physics departments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
