curious if anyone has had any meaningful networking experiences at the comsol conferences, ie getting an internship or job offer. going to be attending the boston conference and want to go in with a good idea of what i can expect to make out of the experience
For example, I'm an EE major with threads in SIP and Optoelectronic devices. I'm finding that I'm enjoying my optoelectronic courses much more than my SIP courses, and I'd rather just do 8 courses in optoelectronics alone rather than 4 optoelectronics and 4 sip. I think with the purpose of the threads system being creating somewhat of a niche for yourself, it is a pretty reasonable thing to ask for. However, it's obviously a big ask and such a fundamental graduation requirement is probably hard to argue against. Still, I know that there's some level of leniency here. For example, I was able to argue for a special topics course that wasn't normally counted as part of SIP to count towards SIP. So, it's not like asking for small exceptions isn't impossible. But has anyone tried doubling down on a thread like I've suggested?

realizing that there is no way i will be able to finish using all of the meal swipes ive been given by this mealplan, and wanted to figure out some way to use it up. anyone have any ideas or past experience?
I'm a third year Electrical Engineering major that's interested in getting an industry internship this coming summer working on optics simulations. I have a conference paper that should be published by the end of the year where I used COMSOL for modeling optical quantum circuits to visualize and optimize sources of loss in a tabletop bulk optics setup, and I'm hoping that that would be enough relevant experience to get a summer internship. However, I'm not really familiar with what the big names in the field are that would *also* hire an undergrad. I've seen many internship postings on linkedin which seem like I would be roughly qualified enough for, except for the graduate degree requirement. Curious to know if anyone has any advice on finding undergrad opportunities, would mailing people internally at smaller companies to make a case for myself be worth the effort? Thanks for reading!
this is the result im getting when trying to get dining dollars, is there any other site to do so?
Tried reading this review paper [https://arxiv.org/pdf/1907.06331\] but still was unable to come away with an idea of the 'structure' of a LOQC. I think some diagram with labeled components and their purpose in a system would make a bit more sense to me. Not just a bunch of beamsplitters and waveplates drawn and labelled, but something that has that information plus a more physical expalanation of that components efficiency in regards to loss and other physical properties. I'd be fine reading a paper too if it could convey the same information. Any recommendations?
Title, want to know what the best way to spend the two weeks between now and school is
i submitted a support case on COMSOL and they said that since im a student using the academic classkit license the only way id get any support was if the license admin essentially submitted it for me, so i tried to figure out who that person is but have no clue. anybody have more information about who manages COMSOL access on the COE virtual machines? thank you!
if anyone happens to have experience using comsol for wave optics simulations and wants to help out lmk lol
Hello,
I want to use the Polarizing Beamsplitter (PBS) within a larger system, so I am attempting to add an air boundary (just a rectangle with n=1) to the right of the PBS, but I am getting the result shown in this image link: imglink.cc/i/fkkT6h7BNT
As far as I can tell, in order to create a new domain I need to define the wavevectors in that domain and a phase shift to ensure phase continuity between domains. The wavevector would just be lambda/n_air and the phase shift I calculate using the ODEs that calculated all the prior phase shifts within the PBS, using the new wavevectors I've created. However, I am getting a result that clearly has some noisiness to it and indicates that something is not right. When I change the refractive index of the domain from 1 to 1.6586, the exact refractice index of the adjacent prism, everything works fine and results in the clean image shown: imglink.cc/cdn/ntutmapbAC.png
Changing it from 1 to 1.6585, just 0.0001 less than the refractive index of the adjacent prism, leads to a result almost identical to the first noisy result when n=1. From this I'm assuming that I must be doing something wrong with the wavevectors, as that is the only quantity that would change by a large amount as a result of a tiny change in refractive index. But I have no idea what could be wrong there. Following are some relevant information of the changes I made to the file in order to implement an air domain:
Refractive Index of 'Right Air Domain' = n_air = 1
Interface between right prism and right air domain = x8 = width of PBS divided by 2
k1Airx = k0*n_air = k2Airy k1Airy = 0 = k2Airx
k1Prismx*x8+phi180-k1Airx*x8-phiAirx k2Prismy*x8+phi200-k2Airy*x8-phiAiry
phiAirx and phiAiry are used in the definitions section for the right air domain as phi1 and phi2 respectively.
If you want to see the model, you could find it in this linked forum post. If there are any questions about how I implemented anything I'm more than happy to respond. Thank you for your time!
im a georgia tech student, where vishwanath currently teaches. i checked his rmp reviews and a grand majority of them are from UT Austin students claiming hes an academic fraud, ruins people lives, etc. it's very interesting because a majority of the posts have 200+ likes on them which ive never even seen before on rmp, but even more interesting than that is the fact that alot of them use the same phrases like 'ruins your life'. are the reviews botted? whats everyones opinion on him?
I want to start to get into automated repricers but want to try my luck with manual repricing first just so that I can get an understanding of fundamental concepts first. Anybody have any insights into non-obvious repricing techniques that are simple enough to be executed by hand? Thank you!
I think GT should have a poker club (no gambling!), and really want to try to start one. Trying to find a professor to supervise the club is naturally a bit tricky here, and made even trickier by the fact that I've only spent one sem at GT so I don't know as many professors as maybe a third year would. I definitely don't think any of the ECE professors I've taken courses with would be interested, and want to see if just messaging professors that might do research in related topics (quant, finance, stats) would be interested. Anyone have any insight on this? Thank you!
i feel like 'and they mine for our bodies' had the same production quality and better lyrical content of something like half blood except it also had aura, if half blood (deservingly) was able to do so well why wasnt gao?
First time applicant just curious, am I right in assuming that as long as you submit an abstract that's somewhat novel and non trivial you'll probably get in? Seems more like a cool showcase of community work than a competitive research conference
been listening to 2slimey hella and rediscovered afourteen's 2020-2022 catalog and realized he was 2slimey before 2slimey
going into my third year of EE with no internships so far but alot of research experience that i think should be applicable to employers. not sure if this is because im not missing something, i have a template from r/engineeringresumes i use and just apply thru application portals. i know that applying thru sites is very difficult right now because of the intense competition in all engineering disciplines, so im planning to present some research work at conferences this fall too and hope that makes me more visible to employers. anyways, i want to get more suggestions about ways to make myself employable and feel like visiting the career advising center makes sense, and was just curious what the consensus on their usefulness in general is?
I'm trying to do photonic simulation across a large scale setup so EWFD doesn't work and I care about inteference, so ray optics doesn't work either. I'm left with using the Beam Envelopes package, but the caveat with that is that you can only really move light in two directions with EWBE, while I want to move in at least 3. My current idea is to then have two different domains, one of them allowing light to go down and right and the other allowing light to up and right. Is the easiest way from here to analytically calculate all the laser parameters that come out from one domain and serve that as an input to the next? Is there any easier way to move in 2+ directions in a large scale direction while retaining interference and loss? Thank you!
I'm an undergrad doing research and want to aim to present some work at a conference sometime closer to winter. Obviously it's an uphill battle as an undergrad to get even an intrnship in QC, but was just curious as to what people's experiences were with meeting recruiters and having that convert to j*b offers in QC? Or networking in general
