Perhaps some of you know about this already, but I’m staying in NYC for the summer to work with my adviser on research.  I haven’t settled on a project yet, but I have a choice of two groups that I can work with.  I can either work on solar cells or I can work on microelectronics.

Both areas involve electronic materials (mostly silicon) and the use of sequential lateral solidification to make better cells or microelectronics.  Both areas sound interesting.  If you’ve followed my epic quest that finally ended when I bought the N95 back in February, then you know how picky I am and how much time I spend thinking and researching before I make a decision.

Right now I’m leaning more towards microelectronics and I have until the week of May 26 to make a final decision.  For those not scientifically inclined, the two choices as follows:  I get to either save the world (no cheerleaders involved, sadly) or I get to do something that will eventually help the electronics industry tremendously.  And as of right now, I’m biased towards the electronics industry.

If you feel like it, leave comments.  Otherwise, sit back and wonder how I’m only two posts away from a full week of blog posts.
