AI Thread Summary
A chemical engineer can write a PhD dissertation on statistical mechanics, although direct applications in chemical engineering may not be widely recognized. The discussion highlights the difficulty in finding relevant resources and applications, particularly due to the lack of a PhD program at the user's university. The user expresses frustration over the limited guidance from their advisor, who specializes in a different field, and notes that online resources often require purchase. There is a call for links to useful websites and inquiries about Fluid Dynamics questions that could be approached from a chemical engineering perspective.

Ok can someone tell me if its possible for a chemical engineer to write his Phd dissertation about statistical mechanics? Does anyone have any links to useful websites? Also does anyone know any questions in Fluid Dynamics from Physics that may be solved in a Chemical Engineering Concept.

I've tried hard but couldn't find any direct applications of Stat.Mechs in Chemical Engineering.

Ask your advisor.
 
Hehe very funny...advisor doesn't know because he specializes in something completely different. Another thing, there's no phd program at my uni so the others don't know either. The internet hasnt been of much use either. Anything I found had to be purchased online.
 

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

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...

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?
