Bayes Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 From your above profile it seems like you took all the core PhD courses and this shows that you are already very well informed (in what you are doing). That is why no one replied. Your Profs should have a very good idea, talk to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
