Yaay me!

I found out yesterday that I've gotten picked up for grad school!

I'm tentatively going to be working on nano-sensors for UMCP's aerospace engineering smart structures lab.

I have yet to read any of the background material, but it'll basically be tiny "fingers" of metal which behave similar to quartz crystals... you deflect them and they create a voltage. If you have arrays of them, oriented in different directions, you can detect accelerations, fluid flows, etc.

It's not entirely what I was shooting for, but it's really cool, nonetheless!

wow, picked up for grad school. The only thing I've ever been picked up for is when I was picked up on a "failure to appear" warrant.

I got picked up for ditching school once... The truant officer showed up and koncked on my door and stuff. It was fun. She even let me take a shower before I was carried away.

Btw, congrats, Enigma!

See, kids?
This is what happens when you skip school. do you want someone koncking on your door?

Congraduations enigma. You going for a PhD or a Masters?

[RBS_5]

Congratulations enigma .. im sure you deserve this.:)

[enigma]

Thanks all

Masters first. We'll see how things are going once I get closer to the thesis before I decide on the PhD. Luckily UMaryland requires you get the Masters first, regardless.

Great job Enigma! Congratulations. :smile:

It sounds like some interesting work. Maybe we will see you as a mission specialist one day? :tongue2:

[DarkAnt]

Congrats enigma!

wait...this doesn't mean you'll be spending less time at the pf and more time working does it?
