Hello all!
I am applying to physics departments for a rather niche subject. I'm interested in complex networks and condensed matter (leaning towards theory, but experiments that include theory would be most preferred). To be honest I haven't decided between the two, and would be most happy finding some combination of them both. I was wondering if anyone knows of anywhere with decidedly strong programs in these fields, particularly complex networks (condensed matter is everywhere). As of now I have a list consisting of:
UC Davis
U. Maryland College Park
UT Austin
UC Santa Barbara
U Michigan Ann Arbor
Northwestern
UIUC
Yale
Harvard
Cornell
Columbia (these bottom four and here mostly because of the sheer size and endowment at these schools, I figure I can really find anything I want)
Thanks!
