Hello,
I am a high school senior wanting to eventually become a professor of physics. Right now, I am doing research at my state university at a lab trying to harness the Hall effect for use in room temperature devices. My role is the detection and characterization of magnetic domains. I will stay at the university over the summer for three months, where room and board, researching funding, and a stipend will be provided. I should have something published by the end of that, as well as being a contributed to the larger papers that the group produces.
I’m doing all I can now, but I would like to ask those of you who have become / are on the path to professorship, what is the advice that you would give me to maximize my chances of succeeding in such a competitive field? I plan on applying to a PhD from undergrad. My first choice for undergrad is Williams College, which I hear back from in 2 weeks.
Of course, I won’t close off other options and there is a large possibility I may change my course, but for now, I would like to do everything I can to get ahead.
I appreciate your responses!
