What's your field?

[Bluenoise]

Biochemistry grad school. However my secret identity is in synthetic biology and genetic engineering. I choose my Biochem projects based on if they allow me to design new techniques/methodologies and constructs. Not based on what I'll discover.

Drives my supervisors insane having to explain all these hair brained ideas to them lol. At least they work.

Now I know there are more people who can respond.

I'm starting my freshman year in college and I'm a physics major. I'm thinking of going into either astrophysics or high energy physics.

[iNow]

I studied economics and psychology with a heavy emphasis in statistics and research design. Minor in education. Having been corporate for a few years now, and advancing through the food chain, I'm considering an Executive MBA, but need to find funds first.

there, Much better

[Sayonara]

I can't smite Sephiroth, it would just feel wrong.

[mooeypoo]

do "Future Specialties" count?

 

I'm currently on my way to achieve a bachelors in Eletrical Engineering, followed by Astrophysics degree... so at the MOMENT I'm still a partial layman. In the future, though.. well. That's a different story

I'm a nuclear mechanic.

 

When my time is up, I want to study Relativity, Quantum Field theories, advanced maths, and philosophy. I'm not sure which one(s) it will end up being.

[ajb]

I do something in between mathematics and physics; "mathematical physics". I am studying towards a PhD.

 

I am interested in geometric descriptions of classical and quantum field theory. In particular I am interested in supermanifolds and how they can be of use in more standard differential geometry including various symplectic structures that can be defined.

 

In doing so I am interested in "general geometric methods" rather than any particular theory.

[fredrik]

I choose "other" because it felt like the most fair choice, but I guess physics is otherwise closest. My formal university education is physics, mathematics and some computer science.

 

My main interest is to simply increase my understanding about reality, specifically the natural sciences and it's philosophy. My perspective is to a large extent an abstract information perspective, and my current thinking circles around understanding complex systems, self organisation and the apparent laws of physics from a probabilistic learning and evolutionary perspective, pretty much seeking for the proper mathematical formalism for it. Making my main interest a mix between physics, philosophy and maybe machine learning and optimal inference methods.

There sure are a lot of physicists in these here parts. 0_o

They've got us surrounded.

They've got us surrounded.

 

Once we finished off the biologists, we will soon go after the chemists.....

[Paralith]

quick, bust out the biological weapons! hit 'em with a megavirus before they reach the atomic bomb button.

Once we finished off the biologists,

 

Why would you want to finish off all the taxi-drivers and burger flippers? ;P

[Dave]

Just finished a Mathematics MMath degree, going on to do a PhD.

[ajb]

Dave,

 

what topic/general area will you be working on and where will you be studying?

[YT2095]

I lean towards Chem, Electronics and Mechanical Engineering mainly, although I don`t have a specific area as such in my work, I have to be Flexible and able to accommodate Most areas of Science.

[Pangloss]

I'm working on a PhD in information systems and information security.

 

I'm thinking about pursuing an MBA after that. I want to find out if it's true that achieving an MBA causes actual decay in brain matter, similar to the effect of long-term use of LSD, affecting primarily the areas of basic cause-and-effect reasoning and simple mathematics (e.g. accounting).
