I'm an undergrad just finished my second year in chemical engineering. I have worked for a pretty prestigious professor (chair of the ch e department) for a year now. I don't think I made a lot of progress as far as results are concerned, primarily because I was very busy with classes during the Fall, and depressed during the Spring semester.
Also, the professor I'm talking about is my supervisor, not really the professor I'm working with. I work with a scientist, who answers my questions and helps me out when I need it. So really, I'm not really working for the prestigious professor, but rather working for the scientist, who reports to the professor.
As for the research area, I have some interest. But the main thing is that I'm not producing as much results as I feel like I should. Also, I realize that it's important to build a good relationship with the professor, but I feel like this professor is really busy all the time and is always busy with other things
I want to make myself stand out a little bit in my undergrad years in research so that I can have a better chance applying for grad school.
Based on what I wrote about my current research position, what would recommend me do?
