Other Graduate student in need of a mentor

AI Thread Summary
The user is seeking assistance in experimental high-energy physics, specifically within the ATLAS experiment at CERN, due to an unproductive relationship with their current advisor. They require help with various physics questions and guidance on resources to enhance their research skills. The user feels isolated, as their colleagues are globally dispersed, leading to delays in receiving advice. They are looking for a supportive community or forum to facilitate quicker interactions and feedback. The ongoing pandemic has complicated traditional communication methods, but there is hope for a return to normalcy with rising vaccination rates.

Summary:: I have an advisor, but the working relationship is short of being productive.

I am searching for a place to go for general help, my field is experimental HEP physics. The things I need help span from random physics questions that I think about at night to pointing me in the right direction to find resources that will help me solve a problem. I want to become a well rounded researcher and do not feel like I am in a conducive atmosphere currently. Often times I get "stuck" and since my other colleagues are around the world (I work on the ATLAS experiment) at CERN, it takes almost a day to get small tidbits of advice.

If there is anyone here that is/and or was a part of ATLAS I could sure use the extra help! Let me know if you think this forum suits my needs.

The usual place for random quick questions would be colleagues in the same group. A bit more complicated in a pandemic but with increasing vaccination rates things return to normal slowly.
 

Thread 'Tips for a CS and physics major'

Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
