Mostly yes. You have a post graduate in management, so it's related to finance... also you may get diversity points (but it depends on that specific college) diversity points means... if you have a diverse educational background... like you took mechanical engineering, then masters in management... you have diverse academic experience. Also if you are a MBA student in top universities of your country (India) like IIM... then you have a boost. But it doesn't influence so much too.

I write here for you read it I watch your video about it.

Ah congrats to you on your success! Thank you so much, and I wish you well on your phd journey!

​@@bonchonjonjonhey can you help me out for electrical engineering resources as I going to start my ee degree this august

It wasn't easy, but did one during the summer, and one during the school year. My advisor was nice enough to work with me on the scheduling.

Thanks!

Ah hello there! Thanks, hope you have a great day~

Yes, having a tough high school certainly does prepare you for the rigors of college.

I think generally yes. PhD is basically a five (or more) year research program. If you have no interest in research in the future, a masters might be more suitable for most non-research industry positions.

@@bonchonjonjon thanks for answering. I’m thinking to apply this year and was in doubt about this difference. At least, here in Brazil, master and PhD don’t have any value to the industry 🥲. I didn’t know how it was in USA.

@@bonchonjonjon Do you think is it possible to have tuition waiver in Computer Science Master in Stanford? I know most PhD do not pay anything, but for master it isn’t so clear.

Most masters students pay for tuition by default. There might be scholarships, or TA positions available to help them pay as well but the student would have to apply for them.

Thanks, I'll try and pay more attention to it.

Thanks!

I have faith.

Thanks. Just food for thought.

I have a couple already, I might make more.

Glad this was potentially relevant to your situation! You still have some time to decide.

Hi Rajeev, I went to Purdue for my undergrad in Electrical Engineering, and a lot of the research on semiconductors is actually spearheaded by the EE department. I would reach out to Professor Muhammad Alam in the ECE department. When I took a class with him and asked him about his research he hinted about working on perovskites. Also please reach out to Professor Mark Lundstrom. He is extremely approachable and very interested in helping students in my experience. He was also the head of semiconductor research at Purdue and may be the head of engineering as a whole at this time. Purdue engineering has its challenges as a school overall, but the semiconductor department is exceptional. If that is what you are interested in you have definitely found the right school. Good luck Rajeev! And if you don't already know this Mark Lundstrom founded NanoHub which provides open source education and resources on semiconductor free online (KZbin and on their webpage) ! I would highly recommend you use them to aid in your studies wherever you go, and don't forget to give back to the community when you can. Hopefully you find this advice helpful

@@tresellers3453 Thank you for your helpful pointers. Just a query, as I’ve received an admit from ChemE dept, how feasible/likely is it that the prof from other dept (in this case, ECE) will accept me as his/her student?

Wow glad to see that people are helping each other out. To answer your later question first, professors often allow students from departments outside of their own to work in their lab. I've been in medical imaging labs that included EE, CS, mechE, and BioE students. It's just a matter to reaching out to the professor to see if things are a good match. Regarding the decision between Purdue and NTU, I'm not familiar with the fields enough to give too much advice. That being said, I don't know if going to NTU would necessarily mean low job opportunities. If the program is strong, then I imagine there should be ample choices when you are looking for work after graduation, since people in the field know which programs are good. Is your concern that there might not be a great deal of job opportunities for your specialty if you want to stay in Singapore after graduation? If so, and there are not too many openings in the area, then yes, I imagine you might have to move again for your new job after finishing school.

Thanks, glad this helped!

I don't think you need to be 100% sure on a research career if you want to enter graduate school, but you have to at least know you enjoy research, especially with multi-year PhD programs. Some people I know work between undergrad and grad, while others go straight through, and that's a matter of personal choice. A masters is a shorter commitment to see if you enjoy research since its usually just two years, and might be a good way to experiment whether this kind of work is your cup of tea. However, it's not necessary though to do your Masters before deciding to do a PhD, and the decision varies person to person.

So happy for you! Congrats!

Thanks! Hope you enjoyed.

Yes you're absolutely right! You're method geometrically takes advantage of the fact that the gaussian function is circularly symmetric. It also gives more intuition as to why we get a pi in our final solution. Thanks for sharing!

Yes me as well lol. Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed.

Thanks a lot!

Thank you, cheers!

Nice! What field? I also have booty cheeks uGPA. Also what’s the story behind your first author paper?

biology. I worked as a tech for 2 years in the same lab i did undergrad in so was able to complete some of the projects I had started. Applied with a first author in review, a second author and 2 mid author pubs @@Philgob

Go bears!!

Glad you're enjoying them :)
