Papers for First Years

Welcome first year graduate students!

Reading papers is one of the most important skills you will develop in graduate school. Here you will find a few papers that we recommend to get you started on learning about glasses in general, in addition to some papers about the two main projects that we work on in the Ediger group; polymer glass deformation and vapor deposited glasses. 

Enjoy!
