Hello, just wanted to know what is recommended after undergrad Physics to get into a career developing electric propulsion systems, or anything to do with Plasmas and future propulsion devices?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Look for a couple of companies that are involved in electronic/plasma/propulsion devices and check their vacancies. You would want to fit the profile they describe. At the same time it will give you an idea of your job prospects and possible future employers. Probably a 'propulsion' group at aerospace engineering is the closest to what you are looking for.
