MASTER’S DEGREE IN PHYSICS OF DATA

“a new generation of Physicists”

The Master’s degree provides new theoretical and computational tools to tackle the explosion of datasets within the physicist mindset. The program intends to build an academic and professional figure that combines advanced knowledge in the field of Physics with a high-level training in Data Science. The programme thus trains the new generation of data physicists, equipped with tools that will allow them to face the challenges that the digital revolution has brought in our society.

Characteristics and objectives

The modeling and the theoretical interpretation of complex natural phenomena from large amounts of data are at the core of the research in Physics. The Big Data revolution presents in this sense the challenges and opportunities for the physicist of today. In addition to the figure of Data Scientist, specialized purely in the analysis of large amounts of data, it is increasingly clear the need to also train figures able to develop the methods and techniques that are fundamental for such analysis - in this sense we named the program of Physics of the Data. Training in Physics, Mathematics and Computation is increasingly necessary to generate such innovation and development. The program will thus train a new generation of physicists, which we could define as "data physicists", equipped with tools that will allow them to face the challenges that the digital revolution has brought in our society .

Physics of Data is an open access Master's degree with admission requirements and the number of non-EU students resident abroad is set at 20.

Entry requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent, with proven skills in Physics and Mathematics
• English language: B2 level (CEFR) or equivalent

Requirements:

A full list of the requirements is also available on the Physics page:

Doctoral students in Physics may submit an Interdisciplinary PhD in Statistics Form between the end of their second semester and penultimate semester in their Physics program. The application must include an endorsement from the student’s advisor, an up-to-date CV, current transcript, and a 1-2 page statement of interest in Statistics and Data Science.

The statement of interest can be based on the student’s thesis proposal for the Physics Department, but it must demonstrate that statistical methods will be used in a substantial way in the proposed research. In their statement, applicants are encouraged to explain how specific statistical techniques would be applied in their research. Applicants should further highlight ways that their proposed research might advance the use of statistics and data science, both in their physics subfield and potentially in other disciplines. If the work is part of a larger collaborative effort, the applicant should focus on their personal contributions.

Grade Requirements:  Students must complete their primary program’s degree requirements along with the IDPS requirements. C, D, F, and O grades are unacceptable. Students should not earn more B grades than A grades, reflected by a PhysSDS GPA of ≥ 4.5. Students may be required to retake subjects graded B or lower, although generally one B grade will be tolerated

PhD Earned on Completion: Physics, Statistics, and Data Science

IDPS/Physics Co-Chairs : Jesse Thaler and Michael Williams

Required Courses:

Courses in this list that satisfy the Physics PhD degree requirements can count for both programs. Other similar or more advanced courses can count towards the “Computation & Statistics” and “Data Analysis” requirements, with permission from the program co-chairs. The IDS.190 requirement may be satisfied instead by IDS.955 Practical Experience in Data, Systems, and Society, if that experience exposes the student to a diverse set of topics in statistics and data science. Making this substitution requires permission from the program co-chairs prior to doing the practical experience.

Physics-informed neural networks for data-efficient learning

The physical world around us is profoundly complex and for centuries we have sought to develop a deeper understanding of how it functions. Building models capable of forecasting the long term dynamics of multi-physics systems such as complex blood flow, chaotic oscillators and quantum mechanical systems thus continues to be a critical challenge within the sciences. While traditional and computational tools have dramatically improved to address parts of this open problem, they face numerous...

Senior Thesis and Honors

All Physics majors who pursue research with a faculty member have the opportunity to complete a Senior Thesis. Completing a Senior Thesis is not required for a Bachelor’s degree in Physics but is required for graduation with Honors.

On this page, we provide guidelines for applying to graduate with Honors, applying to complete a Senior Thesis, choosing a thesis research topic, writing the Senior Thesis, and preparing the thesis presentation.

Honors Requirements

Physics majors are granted a Bachelor of Science in Physics with Honors if they satisfy these two requirements beyond the general Physics major requirements.

• The student completes a Senior Thesis by meeting the deadlines and requirements described in the Senior Thesis guidelines section below. 
• The student completes course work with an overall GPA of 3.30 or higher, and a GPA of 3.50 or higher in courses required for the Physics major.

The student applies for the Honors Program by completing an Honors Program Application Form by mid-May.  Eligibility is confirmed by the Director of Undergraduate Studies.

Senior Thesis Guidelines

• Students must submit a Senior Thesis Application Form once they identify a research project in consultation with a faculty member with whom they are conducting theoretical, computational, or experimental physics research. The application form is attached to this webpage and is also available from the Student Services Specialist. The application must be submitted by 4 pm on Friday prior to the Thanksgiving break of the academic year in which the student plans to graduate. 
• Credit for the project is assigned by the research advisor within the framework of PHYSICS 205 , Senior Thesis Research. A minimum of 3 units of PHYSICS 205 must be completed for a letter grade during the student’s Senior year. Work completed in the Senior Thesis program may not be used as a substitute for regular required courses for the Physics major.
• A written thesis and presentation of the work at its completion are required for the Senior Thesis. The Senior Thesis candidate is required to present the project at the department's Senior Thesis Presentation Program in mid to late May. The expectation is that the student's advisor, second reader, and all other Senior Thesis candidates attend. Students may invite their family and friends as guests. 

Timeline for Completing a Senior Thesis & Applying for Honors in Physics

• First week of October: Students receive information about Senior Thesis Application via email (sent from the Student Services Specialist).
• Mid-November, before Thanksgiving break: Senior Thesis Application is due by 4pm on the Friday before Thanksgiving break. No late submissions will be accepted. Students will be notified if their application is approved after Thanksgiving break.
• First week of April: Students sign up for a date/time to present their Senior Thesis; presentations are scheduled in May. At this point, you should have your thesis title and abstract ready for submission.
• Students present their Senior Thesis in front of their advisor, second reader, other presenters, and guests. 
• Students submit the final version of their Senior Thesis shortly after the presentation; the precise deadline will be announced in early May.
• Students who present their Senior Thesis AND meet the GPA requirements must complete the Honors Program Application by mid-May to graduate with Honors. 

Choosing a thesis topic and writing the thesis

No later than the autumn quarter of your senior year, but preferably earlier, during a summer research position.

No later than winter quarter of your senior year.

When you have completed your senior thesis, you should be an expert on the particular area of research discussed in your thesis. Some projects are independent of the advisor’s research; some projects are a well-defined sub-area within the advisor’s broader research program.

Your thesis advisor, as well as graduate students and/or postdocs with whom you have worked closely, can provide advice. The Hume Center for Writing and Speaking is also a useful resource:  http://undergrad.stanford.edu/tutoring-support/hume-center

Students normally find a Senior Thesis topic and advisor through the Summer Research Program. Other sources are courses such as Physics 59 (Frontiers in Physics Research), faculty web pages and resources on the Undergraduate Research and Independent Projects web page: https://undergrad.stanford.edu/opportunities/research

Broad “review articles” in the field and references therein provide valuable background information. Your advisor and group members should also be able to point you to relevant papers.

You are required to enroll in Physics 205 (Senior Thesis Research) under your advisors’ section during your senior year for a minimum of 3 units. The course must be taken for letter grade. 1 unit = 3 hours of research per week.

No, you cannot earn course credit and get paid for the same work.

An advisor may occasionally have funds to support you during the academic year, but you cannot earn course credit for the same work.

The following links contain information on how to apply for funding during the academic year and during the summer term – Student Grants:  https://undergrad.stanford.edu/opportunities/research/get-funded Physics Summer Research Program:  https://physics.stanford.edu/academics/undergraduate-students/summer-research

The length of the thesis varies, depending on the type of thesis. A more theoretical thesis, perhaps fairly dense with equations, may be shorter than an experimental thesis containing a number of figures showing the experimental setup, plots of the data, fits to the data, etc. Most theses are between 20 and 60 pages long.

Electronic versions of Physics Senior Theses written in 2010 or later are available online here: http://searchworks.stanford.edu/catalog?f[collection][]=ds247vz0452

The thesis should contain the following elements:

• A title page listing the title, the student author, the primary and secondary readers, and the date.
• An abstract, which could be on the title page or inside the document.
• An acknowledgment at the beginning or after the abstract.
• Table of contents.
• A body, divided into sections and subsections.
• A bibliography of references at the end. Include page numbers.

Each table should have a caption above the table and each figure should have a caption below the figure. Include a reference to each table and figure in the text.  If you have a large number of detailed plots, or a very long detailed derivation, consider putting it in an Appendix so that the text flows better.

One-and-a-half spacing is best. It makes it easier to read and easier for your readers to mark up.

Yes, but it must be physics related and you must have a faculty member in Physics as the second reader.

Yes, a literature review should be included.

Your target audience should be students in your major. Other Physics majors should be able to follow the thesis and understand what you did – although they might not follow all the details.

Yes, as long as you include a citation to the publication.

Several Stanford professors have done research based on the results of my research. May I include some of their results because they greatly enrich my overall project or does the thesis have to be 100% on data I took myself? It is definitely OK to include other data as long as you provide credit and appropriate citations.

Preparing the thesis presentation

It is typical to use slides prepared with the presentation software of your choice.

Students should bring their own laptop and any necessary adapters.

•  PRACTICE!!
• The   presentation s   are   15 minutes and 5 minutes for questions . The next presenter will be asked to set up at the 20-minute mark.
• Practice presenting from your laptop in the same room well before the actual presentation. In this way, you can avoid embarrassing delays due to technical problems or missing connectors, etc. Any technical delays will only reduce your speaking time.
• Make sure you start your presentation with an  accessible  overview. The audience will contain mainly non-experts in the field you are going to discuss. This is often the most difficult aspect of any presentation since you must bring along the non-experts while explaining later technical results and their importance without losing the audience.
• PRACTICE!! (A good strategy is to do timed 15-minute practice sessions in front of your classmates, especially those who will also be presenting a thesis. Encourage your audience to give you feedback and to ask questions afterward about anything that was not clear.)

Physics-based data-driven modeling of composite materials and structures through machine learning

Composite materials have been successfully applied in various industries, such as aerospace, automobile, and wind turbines, etc. Although the material properties of composites are desirable, the behaviors of composites are complicated. Many efforts have been made to model the constitutive behavior and failure of composites, but a complete and validated methodology has not been completely achieved yet. Recently, machine learning techniques have attracted many researchers from the mechanics field, who are seeking to construct surrogate models with machine learning, such as deep neural networks (DNN), to improve the computational speed or employ machine learning to discover unknown governing laws to improve the accuracy. Currently, the majority of studies mainly focus on improving computational speed. Few works focus on applying machine learning to discover unknown governing laws from experimental data.  In this study, we will demonstrate the implementation of machine learning to discover unknown governing laws of composites. Additionally, we will also present an application of machine learning to accelerate the design optimization of a composite rotor blade.

To enable the machine learning model to discover constitutive laws directly from experimental data, we proposed a framework to couple finite element (FE) with DNN to form a fully coupled mechanics system FE-DNN. The proposed framework enables data communication between FE and DNN, which takes advantage of the powerful learning ability of DNN and the versatile problem-solving ability of FE. To implement the framework to composites, we introduced positive definite deep neural network (PDNN) to the framework to form FE-PDNN, which solves the convergence robustness issue of learning the constitutive law of a severely damaged material. In addition, the lamination theory is introduced to the FE-PDNN mechanics system to enable FE-PDNN to discover the lamina constitutive law based on the structural level responses.

We also developed a framework that combines sparse regression with compressed sensing, which leveraging advances in sparsity techniques and machine learning, to discover the failure criterion of composites from experimental data. One advantage of the proposed approach is that this framework does not need Bigdata to train the model. This feature satisfies the current failure data size constraint. Unlike the traditional curve fitting techniques, which results in a solution with nonzero coefficients in all the candidate functions. This framework can identify the most significant features that govern the dataset. Besides, we have conducted a comparison between sparse regression and DNN to show the superiority of sparse regression under limited dataset. Additionally, we used an optimization approach to enforce a constraint to the discovered criterion so that the predicted data to be more conservative than the experimental data. This modification can yield a conservative failure criterion to satisfy the design needs.

Finally, we demonstrated employing machine learning to accelerate the planform design of a composite rotor blade with strength consideration. The composite rotor blade planform design focuses on optimizing planform parameters to achieve higher performance. However, the strength of the material is rarely considered in the planform design, as the physic-based strength analysis is expensive since millions of load cases can be accumulated during the optimization. Ignoring strength analysis may result in the blade working in an unsafe or low safety factor region since composite materials are anisotropic and susceptible to failure. To reduce the computational cost of the blade cross-section strength analysis, we proposed to construct a surrogate model using the artificial neural network (ANN) for beam level failure criterion to replace the physics-based strength analysis. The surrogate model is constructed based on the Timoshenko beam model, where the mapping is between blade loads and the strength ratios of the cross-section. The results showed that the surrogate model constraint using machine learning can achieve the same accuracy as the physics-based simulation while the computing time is significantly reduced.

Special Seminar

Shabir Barzanjeh, University of Calgary Location: AQ 3003

Utilizing nonlinearity as a quantum resource not only enables the creation of entanglement, a fundamental aspect of quantum mechanics, but also plays a vital role in advancing quantum computing capabilities. In this presentation, I will explain recent advancements made by our team in harnessing nonlinear processes to generate entanglement and squeezing. The discussion includes the utilization of integrated optical and microwave circuits to develop robust nonclassical sources as well as for microwave-to-optical transduction. The first part of the talk is devoted to the use of nanomechanical resonators for photon conversion and transduction, while the second part explores the application of superconducting kinetic inductance thin films for signal amplification and squeezing in the microwave domain.

Hubble Fellow chooses Cornell for postdoc

4/12/2024 By | Linda B. Glaser , A&S Communications

Physicist Keefe Mitman, selected as an Einstein Fellow in the prestigious NASA Hubble Fellowship Program, has chosen to do his research at Cornell University, working with Nils Deppe , assistant professor of physics in the College of Arts and Sciences (A&S).   The Hubble Fellowship Program enables outstanding postdoctoral scientists to pursue independent research in any area of NASA astrophysics at a U.S. institution of their choice; each fellowship provides the awardee up to three years of support.   Mitman will continue his previous collaboration with Deppe and the Simulating eXtreme Spacetimes (SXS) Collaboration on improving gravitational wave models to aid with the LIGO-Virgo-Kagra Collaboration’s detection and characterization of compact binary encounters.   “In particular, I will work on building the most accurate model to contain an intriguing effect known as the gravitational wave memory effect, which we expect to observe for the first time in the next five years,” said Mitman. “Observing this effect in the near future will help probe not only the nonlinear nature of general relativity, but perhaps even the structure of our universe and the nature of quantum gravity.”   Mitman earned his bachelor’s degree in mathematics and physics from Columbia University in 2019 and his Ph.D. in physics from the California Institute of Technology in 2024. At Caltech, he studied black holes, gravitational waves and numerical relativity with Saul Teukolsky, Hans A. Bethe Professor Emeritus of Physics (A&S) and the SXS Collaboration.

Title: electroweak, qcd and flavour physics studies with atlas data from run 2 of the lhc.

Abstract: A summary of precision measurements sensitive to electroweak, QCD and quark-flavour effects performed by the ATLAS Collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider is reported. The measurements are predominantly performed on proton-proton ($pp$) collision data recorded at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV taken from 2015 to 2018, with an integrated luminosity of up to 140 fb$^{-1}$, with some results based on $pp$ and Pb+Pb data recorded at lower nucleon centre-of-mass energies. The results cover a wide range of topics, from strong production of particles at low energies and the spectroscopy of hadrons to perturbative QCD with hadronic jets and electroweak and strong production of single and multiple vector bosons. They provide precise measurements of fundamental constants and stringent tests of the Standard Model with unprecedented precision and in energy ranges never explored before. They are also used to explore the proton structure and to perform model-independent searches for new physics.
