Hi,

I'm from Bangladesh. I have a Bachelor Degree in Electrical Engineering, and a Masters Degree in Theoretical Physics. Currently work on a financial organization where my job mostly involves building predictive models using deep learning for various purposes. I'm 32 years Old.

My life situations are such taking up an full time research position is not financially viable for my family. But I'm deeply interested in doing research work , maybe in a smaller scale. Maybe apply my Machine Learning/Data Science background to use in physics etc.

I usually try to keep up with the research by reading nature/sciencemag/quantamagazine regularly, sometimes try to read new submissions from arxiv. But haven't done anything concrete or focussed. I'm searching for a like minded community of individuals who are in similar situation like me and wants to pursue serious research. As there is no pressure, maybe tackle more foundational problems.

Hello everyone, I was advised to join this community while seeking guidance on how to navigate the academic world as an independent researcher. My name is Omar, and I'm based in Groningen The Netherlands. My formal physics education ended after high school, but I have dedicated the last several years to developing a theoretical framework from first principles. My work focuses on a topological field theory (which I call Swirl-String Theory) that models particles as knotted vortex...
