LLE HEDP Scholarships
Black and Indigenous persons and applicants are strongly encouraged to apply to the ÂÒÂ×Ç¿¼é. Applicants may reach out to Antonio Williams at antoniowilliams@rochester.edu with interest or any questions.
The ÂÒÂ×Ç¿¼é offers a scholarship that fully-funds doctoral education, so students can obtain a PhD with a focus in high-energy-density-physics.
High-energy-density physics or HEDP is the study of matter at conditions so extreme that ordinarily incompressible materials, such as water or even steel, are compressed.
Engineering and Physics majors may be interested to apply for graduate study in HEDP.
Do research at the ÂÒÂ×Ç¿¼é’s Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE).
The LLE mission statement names the goal “to provide graduate and undergraduate education in electro-optics, high-power lasers, high-energy-density physics, plasma physics, and nuclear fusion technology.”

Who Should Apply
The Institute for Matter at Extreme Energy Density at the ÂÒÂ×Ç¿¼é is an interdisciplinary program, so students may come from a variety of fields. Preferred applicants will be those with 3.0 and above GPA in majors such as:
- Materials science
- Mechanical engineering
- Physics and astronomy
- Optics
- Systems engineering
Applicants should be:
- Top-tier students
- Ambitious
- Strong in STEM and problem-solving
- Good at working in teams as well as independently
