only the degree names are different. if u really demonstrate strong motivation to pursue phd in EE, you might be in the same league as other EE background ppl.
also, i think, you should precisely explain in ur SOPurpose/SOInterest, why you're switching fields and how that makes you an eligible...
Hi there, I can totally relate to your situation. I did my masters too at NUS in EE and I wanted to do PhD in physics too. life got in the way and i could not pursue it immediately but i hope i'd do in a couple of years. anyway, my 2 cents :
a) u can also consider doing an MSc in physics at...
could some experienced person tell whether this idea is correct? Computational Science deals with the aspects of computing such as designing efficient algorithms to solve an analytical model, the issues that might arise from the numerical methods to solve them etc., and that, it's not the actual...
Hey 'PuzzledMe',
I can totally relate to your situation too.
though, what i say might not be concrete solutions as to what you should do, I want you to know that you're not alone and also that things can be done to change what you're going through.
are u in high school or college?
in...
i've been there and i know how u feel. one thing i can recommend is try to apply for the universities in singapore. there's some scholarship with a few years bond and i suppose u won't have to shell out too much money by yourself. try checking out these universities - National University of...
hi there, if u're talkin abt nanoelectronics in specific, u shud opt for electronics engineering.
or if u're interested more in nanoprocessing/fabrication, u can try chemical engg.
even mechanical engg could help you if u're interested in NEMS (Nano electro mechanical systems).
Nanotech is...
i don't know abt the score.. but i know that it's not necessarily needed for the EE dept.
also i have a suggestion.. instead of trying for universities abroad, u can try doing it in IITs or other indian universities, for which u need to sit for JAM or JEST exams.
may be u can do a masters...
i don't think getting an admit into US Physics programmes is that easy with your limited physics background. if you're very ambitious enough, try to read the various fields of physics and gain a good understanding of them so that u can crack the Physics GRE the score of which is one important...
Hi all,
I'm from EE background, currently working as TCAD enggr in a semiconductor fab outside US and I'm considering research in physics in the US.
(relevant key words that I've identified, till date- computational nanoelectronics, molecular electronics, ballistic nanotransistors...
oh i see.. but i got to know abt Hubble winning nobel prize through a documentary on the history channel in their 'Universe' series..
may be they were wrong..
dear all,
i'm a student just amateurly exposed to research.
what i want to know is whether research aptitude is innate or is it something that can be developed as one progresses in life?
i ask this because, a few ppl that i recently came across proclaim that the reason they don't consider...
Dear all,
i'm very new to cosmology/astronomy branches of physics.
i've one simple question.
it's known that the universe is expanding and i suppose the measurement was made by Hubble for which he won the nobel prize.
but also, i recently learned that there're black holes at the centre of...
first of all, congrats for maintaining a good academic record. i feel you can do ur research but not at the cost of your grades. what you can do is, trying to choose some topic or area for the project that is very parallel to your coursework. in this way, you wouldn't have to spend too much time...
Hi there, i think u shud better study in the US. I'm sure, u'd get a much better education there (no offence to education in asia) cuz, the fees in asian univs might be lesser than in the US but the other incidental expenses might add up and make it only a little different from the US. don't...
