Just graduated with a BSc in physics and starting an R&D

Why are you here and not on reddit?

>>8940542
do you think anyone gives a fuck?

>>8940582
Apparently you since you replied

>>8940542
I thought you need to have at least a masters degree in physics before getting into r&d. How did you do this?

>>8940542
Don't listen to the haters OP. I am not personally interested but I bet the physics majors will care to ask you question. But right now it is the early morning in america so most of them are doing their morning wank. You should have posted later.

What kind of a job is it? What did you specialize in (condensed matter physics, astrophysics, optics, meteorology, etc.) during your undergrad? How much money will you get?

>>8940613
My undergraduate thesis was highly relevant to what they do in the lab. I essentially generalized a technique used in signal/image processing, made it a bit more abstract and implemented it with decent results. This was under heavy guidance of my prof.

Thanks my man

The job is a optics job. I'll be working for a semiconductor company. I started out as an astrophysics major, but decided I hated that so i switched to optics and actually ended up getting a minor in EE. My research was in image processing for an experimental optics lab. Most people in the lab were awful coders, so I ended up getting a lot of work done during my undergrad, which resulted in a bunch of pubs which probably helped alot.

The pay is about ~70k.

Damn congrats man. I am an EE major and this sounds like a dream to me. Going for masters or phd in electromagnetics/photonics hope to get comfy research job afterwards

>>8940542
what do you find to be the most satisfying formula to use?

>>8942534
I really enjoy doing fourier transforms.

Honestly, if I was ever stuck on something taking the fourier transform would help me fix the problem like 50-60% of the time. And if that didn't work, some other integral transform usually worked

>>8940542
Favourite unit you ever took?

>>8940542
Are you to build a nuclear fusion for the Libyans for convenient purposes?

Where do you live ?

>>8942653
Mathematical Physics - basically complex analysis, fourier analysis, calculus of variations, and special functions. 2nd fav. would probably be e&m or electronics.

>>8942680
Texas. Posting from Europe rn though.

>>8942667
no. like I said my specialty is optics. I don't care about nuclear. I've actually never even taken a class on nuclear physics.

>>8940542
kinda funny, so many physics fags here and they all sound bitter


congrats to you guy

>>8940542
Are you going to be enjoying being a life long lab cuck?

>>8943060
Sure, beats 99% of other jobs

>>8940587
Bazinga!
