What PhD specialization in Applied Physics is right for me?

AI Thread Summary
For someone with a B.Sc in Physics and Electronics and a Master's in Electronics and Communication Physics, pursuing a PhD in areas like signal processing and information technology is advisable. It's important to review PhD program outlines from various schools to find programs that build on previous coursework. Direct communication with schools can provide valuable insights into their offerings. While there are numerous potential areas for research, exploring experimental particle physics could be beneficial, as it combines engineering and physics, particularly in the context of data collection technologies used in particle accelerators. Engaging with professionals in the field and researching specific projects of interest can further guide the decision-making process for selecting a PhD focus.

i have B.Sc in Physics and Electronics and Master in Electronics and Communication Physics please which area is the best for me to go for my PhD
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Look at which programs have classes that go off of classes that you have previously taken. Find a number of schools you are interested in, and look at their Phd program outline. Contacting them would also help you since you will get first hand knowledge from those within the school system.

Thanks for the response ,, Please can you suggest any area though i like to signal processing and information technology...also i will be very grateful if you can be any of help to me in terms of school
 
There are so many areas and applications that we really can't make this decision for you. Research into it and talk to some people in the field to find a project or topic you'd be interested in studying. I can say that from what you said it sounds like you'd be good at kind of being a bridge between the engineers at something experimental like a particle accelerator and the physicists running it. Look into experimental particle physics if this interests you, signal processing would be important for the technology that gathers data at some of these experiments.
 
I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...
Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
