About PGSS

The Physics Graduate Student Symposium (PGSS) is a weekly summer seminar series hosted by the University of Michigan Department of Physics, showcasing the excellent research being done on campus.

PGSS provides an excellent opportunity for graduate students to share their research and to practice their presentation skills. To enhance that benefit, this website provides a means for audience members to give anonymous feedback to presenters regarding their research and their presentations.

This year, the seminars will be given in person in West Hall 335 on Thursdays at 12PM over the summer beginning June 5, 2025.  

If you have any questions or comments regarding PGSS, please feel free to contact the PGSS team via the feedback page or at sympphysgrad@umich.edu.

Everyone is welcome! Help support great research at Michigan!
