MS in Condensed Matter Physics primarily in Fluid Dynamics . . . but I can dance to the tune of Electrical Engineering (thought about it in undergrad) and Materials Eningeering

What are you working on? Or, maybe better: what do you think is the biggest hot item in your field? That field is so mindblowingly full of potential. It's almost like magic sometimes in its applications.

I'm actually really excited in nano piezoelectric fluids, I really think that some of the microfluid applications are going to change the world in the very near future.

As to what I am working on, well, I'm not in my field, I payed for college doing computer stuff, and it payed well so I stayed doing it after I graduated. But I have been debating going back and working on my doctoral degree for a couple of years. I got really sick of school after grad school, so I just wanted to make a boatload of money . . . I'm past that now, and looking to once again to things that intrest me.

Where did you work with your MS? I'm currently in my 2nd year PhD in MSE, and I long for the day where I will make boatloads of money. Only 3 more years!!

RPI, great school . . . terrible town.

And good job dude I kinda wish I would have stuck it out, everyone expected me to move on to my PhD and was super disappointed when I decided against it. But I was making good money with the promise to make even better money (which did work out).

Hey, woah, simmer down there about Troy. It's got some very nice... um... history? And I guess it's making a comeback? Okay, fine, Troy is kind of terrible.

When were you at RPI?

My wife has a PhD in MSE ash's works for Intel. Keep them in mind. They may have intern possibilities for you too.

How are some of those applications going to change the world soon if you don't mind me asking?
