| Jan 27, 2022 at 15:47 | comment | added | Aaron Hendrickson | Maybe even provide a summary of the only the most major results of ch. 2 (now relocated to appendices) in the introduction of ch. 3? | |
| Jan 27, 2022 at 15:44 | comment | added | Aaron Hendrickson | Carlo, I took several months off and returned to the paper with fresh eyes. I agree with you that the important part of the paper is the development of the conversion gain estimator in ch. 3 and not as much the mathematical derivations of chapter 2. There is even a significant portion of ch.3 that could just as easily be moved back to chapter 2. To achieve the "30 minute talk" condensation you mentioned, I could move the entirety of ch.2 to appendices and simply present a condensed version of ch. 3 as the main achievement. Do you think of this strategy? | |

| Sep 15, 2021 at 17:55 | comment | added | Timothy Chow | The Program in Applied & Computational Mathematics at Princeton University is another Ph.D.-granting program where it is commonplace for a thesis to present a highly mathematical solution to an engineering problem, and thesis committees will have professors from different departments. | |
| Sep 15, 2021 at 14:39 | comment | added | Willie Wong | Now, I don't know if anyone works in your precise field in my neighboring department, but a highly mathematical result that solves a problem in engineering would make it a perfect PhD thesis in a department such as MSU-CMSE (The department itself straddles the colleges of natural sciences and engineering.) For students there is it normal to have both mathematicians and engineers on their committees. | |

| Sep 15, 2021 at 14:32 | comment | added | Carlo Beenakker | perhaps my perspective is biased, but I think the merit of your work is the formulation of a useful estimator for conversion gain in photon transfer; the math is secondary, I don't think it is sufficiently interesting for a mathematician; so I would condense the paper so that the body of the text adresses an audience of electrical engineers, and relegate much of chapter 2 to appendices. And again, I think that a helpful way to achieve this condensation is to imagine that you have to give a 30 minute talk on your achievements. | |
| Sep 15, 2021 at 13:43 | comment | added | Aaron Hendrickson | In essence, my problem is that this paper marries two seemingly disparate fields and I'm not sure how I would proceed. | |
| Sep 15, 2021 at 13:43 | comment | added | Aaron Hendrickson | Thank you for your insights Carlo. As per my replies to @TimothyChow, one of the challenges I'd have in going this direction is finding an appropriate expert to be my Ph.D. advisor. Do people sometimes have more than one advisor (I'm thinking a mathematician and electrical engineer in my case)? I'm almost starting to think maybe I could write a research announcement (summary of major results) as suggested by @ SergeiAkbarov to present to experts in the topic of my paper, win them over, and then seek a mathematician for feedback on the technical (mathematical) aspects of the paper. | |
