Before I begin I want to apologise for the thread title, I'm not personally fond of the ubiquity of the -fi suffix, however it seems to have become the established recognition nomenclature for topic-based-threads.

I was curious to see how many people here might be postgraduate students. A large part of the userbase on this forum are students for certain. Polls about universities, education, age, areas of interest all point clearly to this.

I recognise from the outset the differences between the structure of postgraduate education in the U.S.A. (where most head-fiers reside) and the rest of the world (where those of us with money which comes in more than one colour (and who spell colour with a U) live.

What university are you with? Did you do your undergraduate degree there? Are you a PhD or M.Res? (or other) What subject are you working under? What is your proposed area of research? Is your supervisior someone we might have heard of?


Lets see what the research map of Head-Fi looks like.

I'm at The University of St. Andrews, studying for a PhD in Social Anthropology. My supervisor is Prof Nigel Rapport. My research area is the doctor/patient relationship in general practice.

I'm at the University of Kansas. I'm actually finishing up my undergrad degree this semester while also beginning coursework and research for my masters. Both degrees are in electrical engineering. I'm going to focus in fiber optic communications.

[appophylite]

I'm, at Univ. Alaska Fairbanks working on a Master's in Engineering Management (expecting to finish in May!), and concurrent enrollment to do a Ph.D. in Permafrost Engineering which I've kinda put on the back-burner so I can finish the Master's first. Completing it all at the same school I got my undergrad Electrical Engineering degree at.

 

[stewtheking]

PGCE, (which doesn't really count, I grant you). Completed just this year.

Technically, I am also registered onto a further year of MEd part time, but teaching is a BUSY job.

Working on my PhD in mechanical engineering, metallurgy to be precise. No one's taken me up on my offer to examine burn in under microscope yet

 

[Metalspree]

Wait, you want someone to pay you to look at burn-in? Good luck with that.

-- deleted -- misread the original post.....thought he wants to know how many postgrads are here at HF.......apparently what he meant are post grad students. apologies

 

[El_Doug]

Master of Science in Mathematical Finance

however, given my success in the program (read: poor), I will probably go back into public accounting after I complete the degree :/

No no, I meant I have access to electron microscopes and am willing to look at stuff under the lens. As long as it's metallic and relatively small.
