    Other I started PhD abroad, but would like to get a job

    Okay you have valid points, but no need to be that hard on me. Changing country is a big deal and some people do not find what they expect. Guidance might have been wrong to use in that context; what I meant was how to transition into the job market. Some people can provide good suggestions in...

    Other I started PhD abroad, but would like to get a job

    Greetings, I recently started a PhD in Belgium after resigning from my current job (IT branch) in my home country, Turkey. It was a global company and I had been working there for around 8 months when I resigned. I realized that what I want is a solid job as soon as possible and now I am in the...

    Job Skills Prospective jobs after masters in EE

    Thanks for the advice, so you think the site indeed.com are more geared towards less-experienced recent graduates? Do you have any other job-portal recommendations?

    Job Skills Prospective jobs after masters in EE

    Thanks for the through answer. The visa barrier is somehow surmountable, yet some of the countries in Europe require a work permit of 2 years even for internship positions. I am thinking of a position in EU/US primarily, but this might change. I do not have any experience with them so getting...

    Job Skills Prospective jobs after masters in EE

    I have a BSc degree in Physics and MSc degree in electrical and electronic engineering. Both of these universities which I attended are located in Turkey and I am planning to relocate to work in an R&D setting. While getting my undergraduate degree I took a lot of courses on theoretical physics...

    Engineering Physics bachelors to Engineering masters

    Actually I took this route: bachelor's degree in physics and master's degree in electrical and electronics engineering. They did not require me to take all the courses to catch up with the curriculum; however, my research was based on plasmonics (a sub-field of optics). Thus most of the work I...

    I Fourier transform of Dirac delta

    Actually from what I see the answer is 2\cos(kd) , but depending on the convention used you can have \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}} in front of both the forward and backward transforms.

    Equation satisfied by a rubber sheet

    I do not think it will have the same isotropy as the rubber sheet. By the way I was able to derive the equation using calculus of variations for multiple independent variables as suggested. I also corresponded privately with Prof. Griffiths. He sent two articles on waves in strings and told me...

    Equation satisfied by a rubber sheet

    Thanks for the answer actually I was not particularly sure how Euler-Lagrange equations worked for multiple integrals with more than one independent variable. As far as I understand the rubber membrane acts like a soap film. Therefore it tries to minimize its surface area for a given set of...

    Equation satisfied by a rubber sheet

    Okay I should do the math and see I am a bit rusty on variational calculus, yet I will try. Do you think this will really give the answer?

    Engineering Navigating the Transition from Academic to Industrial R&D

    I actually want to work in Europe not in America, but I can also consider the option of working there. USA is much more competitive than Europe and I am afraid of that actually.

    Engineering Navigating the Transition from Academic to Industrial R&D

    I would actually like to be in a less competitive environment than in USA.

    Equation satisfied by a rubber sheet

    My aim is to drive the equation for the height V(x,y) of the rubber sheet as a function of the position (x,y) on the sheet. This equation is: ## \frac{\partial}{\partial x}(g \frac{\partial V}{\partial x}) + \frac{\partial}{\partial y}(g \frac{\partial V}{\partial y}) = 0 ## This equation is a...

    Equation satisfied by a rubber sheet

    I am sorry for the inconvenience caused, V(x,y) denotes the height of the rubber sheet above the point (x,y) in this case. By the way do you say trying to minimize the area will work?

    Do you have a particular source in mind?
