Discussion Overview
The discussion centers around finding research groups focused on loop quantum gravity (LQG) for potential PhD supervision. Participants share insights on how to locate relevant groups and suggest resources for further exploration in the field.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory
- Technical explanation
- Homework-related
Main Points Raised
- One participant expresses a desire to pursue a PhD in LQG and seeks recommendations for research groups and supervisors.
- Another participant suggests that the original poster (OP) consider the authors of the papers they have read to find potential supervisors and research groups.
- A participant acknowledges their initial understanding of LQG is at an informative level and expresses interest in finding someone experienced in the field for advice.
- Several participants recommend checking specific threads and forums related to LQG for additional information and resources.
- One participant highlights Louisiana State University (LSU) as a significant institution for LQG research and provides a link to a relevant resource.
- The OP reflects on the importance of finding a good supervisor over the university's reputation, indicating a focus on mentorship.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants generally agree on the importance of finding a suitable supervisor and suggest various methods for identifying research groups. However, there is no consensus on the best approach to take or the most important factors in selecting a PhD program.
Contextual Notes
Some participants mention specific resources and forums that may contain valuable information, but the effectiveness of these suggestions remains unverified. The discussion does not resolve the best strategies for finding research groups or supervisors.
