What are you researching/developing

[MelchyBeau]

I figure since there are so many engineers and science types, I'd ask this question. Also what is your degree in.

I have a B.S. in Physics, and will go for my masters in a bit

I am working on solid state power electronics, specifically diodes and thyristors that are to handle 16 and 20 kV

I'm finishing up analysis of a component of a new hybrid launch vehicle that Lockheed Martin is in the early stages of development of for DARPA, NASA, and the Air Force. Unfortunately, I didn't do anything terribly exciting for it - just some composites structural analysis. It is a pretty cool rocket, though.

My degrees are in Mechanical Engineering (BS) and Aerospace Engineering (MS).

Cancer, aging, cellular division, and immortaily.

[Frequitude]

Programming a microcontroller to
a)monitor the voltages & currents of an induction motor
b)analyze the data to determine if any rotor bars are cracked. If so, output how broken it is and which bar it is.

I'm currently working toward a PhD in atmospheric chemistry in which my specific focus is modeling the phase transitions of aerosols.

[phage]

I have a PhD in microbiology. Currently my research is focused on bacterial-host interactions

[parttimepro]

I use MRI to figure out how memory is implemented in the brain.

Almost done.

My degrees are in computer science, but I don't actually use them; found I got more satisfaction as a math teacher.

But when I was doing research, it was on graph theory with an emphasis on the four color problem.

Are you joking? I can't tell. If so, that's hilarious. If not, that's pretty impressive.

I'm not sure where the joke is implied. This is what I do.
