AI Thread Summary
In the discussion, participants emphasize the importance of understanding various circuit types in the optoelectronics field, particularly microprocessors and digital logic circuits, as they are crucial for device integration and functionality. There is a recognition that while optoelectronics focuses on material properties and device structures, a solid foundation in circuit design is essential for practical applications and industry relevance. The conversation highlights the dual career path of pursuing academia while also considering industry needs, suggesting that expertise in high-demand areas like microprocessors can enhance job prospects and consulting opportunities. Overall, a balance between theoretical knowledge in optoelectronics and practical skills in circuit design is deemed beneficial for graduates aiming for both teaching and industry roles.

Physics news on Phys.org
I don't know, but I am interested in getting into optoelectronics in grad schol myself (dual major in EE and applied physics) so I would like to know what is most attractive to industry. My goal is to become a university professor, but it would be nice to specialize in an area that is coveted by industry so that I have a backup plan, or I can go into consulting on the side when I get a PE while I teach (from what I hear, consulting pays big money if you specialize in the right field)
 
I'm not sure why you would focus on circuits if you're doing optoelectronics. I think optoelectronics is mainly about how to build better devices by exploiting material properties, device structure, etc...
 

Thread 'Where did all the “fundamentals-deepening” master’s programs go?'

I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
