Rapid prototyping for my PhD (3D printing, assembly, river testing)
I tried to build 10 sensors in 3 weeks for my PhD. Some of them failed, some of them were lost, and some may have survived.

Reacting to 1 year's worth of PhD footage
Переглядів 3,7 тис.2 роки тому
This is me reacting to a year's worth of footage I accumulated throughout my PhD. I have been sitting on 1 year's worth of footage from my PhD and sensor-building adventure, and it's been keeping me from creating YT videos because I first need to edit this footage. So instead I decided to react to the footage since I also haven't seen it in so long. I hope you enjoy! ⚙️TikTok: @rivertechjess ww...

After a few long months, I finally have some results of testing my sensor and I also wanted to show my life as a PhD student. This DIY sensor project has really been kicking my butt. But I'm really happy to look back and see all of the things I learned. I wanted to share with you guys a PhD Student update and show how I went about testing my sensor and testing a scientific theory. Hopefully, my...
Searching for Lost Sensors in the Balkans
Переглядів 3,4 тис.3 роки тому
There was finally a window of opportunity to travel to the Balkans to change the batteries in my turbidity sensors and download their data. I was also about to squeeze in a multiday kayaking trip to paddle the entire river with a sensor and collect turbidity data. ⚙️Have any questions? I might've answered them!

    Narcissist yes lol, luv solving problems, luv learning. Funny vid but many engineers are emotional decision makers, as are most people. Cool thing about engineering is that it offers many career trajectories once you start work ... technical, mngt, business, sales, marketing, finance, projects, manufacturing, operations, maintenance, reliability, education, medical, legal, etc.

    Left my PhD with a masters due to a very toxic environment that academia can be sometimes, but looking back Academia is still so much better, starting out as a new grad you’re going to make just as much in academia as a tech or specialist, the freedom and ownership will impact you every single day, working to make a corporation profits is going to spoil your work and build resentment overtime

    How ironic that academics wish for their work to be useful and refuse to go into industry, yet industry research is what’s actually useful. It seems to me that academics just want to escape accountability.

    "Usage: Education, properly a drawing forth, implies not so much the communication of knowledge as the discipline of the intellect, the establishment of the principles, and the regulation of the heart." You must discipline your thinking to work through the problem. You must use the principles to solve the problem. You must control your emotions to solve the problem. And you must develops "cognitive endurance" or the ability to work for significant periods on solving the problem.

Previously I had completed my 4 years Advanced Diploma in Mechatronics and Industrial automation with the first division and I was 2nd for overall academics throughout my diploma. In my BE also I am among the top 2 students. I have completed 3 internships in my domain: 1st - 6 weeks 2nd - 2 months 3rd - 6 months. I have applied for Master's in Robotics at EPFL. Do I have a chance? Please help

    Thanks for this. I recently finished my master's thesis in biomedical engineering and have been working in the biomedical industry for almost a year. My experience in grad school was tough, but I do miss the intellectual freedom of academia. In industry (at least for my current employer) projects are profit-driven, while in academia projects are driven by innovation. I ultimately didn't pursue a Ph.D. since I have a toddler to raise. And PhDs in academia are often underpaid in lecturer and assistant professor positions. Only if you reach tenure/associate professor level, will you feel more secure and pay reflective of your skillset. I also feel academics have more work-life balance since you dictate your teaching and research. Also, you have more holiday breaks and summers off. In industry, you're obligated to be on site 5 days a week for at least 40 hours, with 10-15 PTO days a year. And in the industry, the research you want to pursue has to be aligned with company leadership, who often are driven by cost-effectiveness rather than maximizing product quality. Overall, if you value intellectual freedom more than anything, go into academia. If you invent something worth a patent in industry, the company's name goes on the patent, not the scientists who developed the product. In academia, all IPs are under your name, and this you get more notoriety. If I had the time and resources I would go back to do a Ph.D. and pursue an academic career. But for now, I'll be in the industry for the next few years
