[acharya4689]

Hello All,

I am Acharya, from INDIA . I need some career guidance. I have done my B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering, and my Master's in Nanoelectronics, duirng my Master's i have done my project on Lattice dynamics, I want to do Doctorate in Density functional theory, uisng which i want to concentrate on thermal issues in semiconductor devices. I am stuck at this point, can anyone suugest me how to proceed further, my physics is moderate, while i am very good in electronics.

I want to do PhD abroad i.e., places like germany, and rest of E.U.

I am stuck at this point, how to proceed further.You have a great background in electronics and nanoelectronics and you would like to pursue a PhD in Density Functional Theory (DFT) with a focus on thermal issues in semiconductor devices. You are also interested in doing this abroad, likely in Germany or other parts of the European Union.The first step is to look into university programs that specialize in DFT and related areas. Start by looking into universities that offer a PhD program in Physics or Electrical Engineering with an emphasis in DFT. Universities such as TU Munich, RWTH Aachen, and Technical University of Munich are some of the top universities in Europe that could be great fits. Once you have identified potential programs, you should review their requirements for admission and begin preparing your application materials. This includes a statement of purpose, research proposal, letters of recommendation, transcripts, and any other documents required by the university. It may also be helpful to reach out to faculty members who work in the area of DFT to inquire about potential opportunities. Finally, you should begin to research funding opportunities for doctoral students. Many universities offer generous scholarships and research grants for doctoral students. Additionally, there are many organizations that offer fellowships and grants for research in the field of DFT. These can be a great way to finance your studies abroad. Best of luck with your PhD studies!
