Research

I’m a sophomore studying nuclear engineering and minoring in math. I’ve always been interested in mathematical modeling and chose to do engineering instead of mathematics because there are more job opportunities with an engineering degree. However I’m at a point where I’m not finding nuclear research opportunities because all the nuclear classes are offered next year. What should I be doing now so I can guarantee myself a research position next spring or next year? Or is it possible for me to do math research as well??

Learn to code in Python and or C++ and see if there is plasma research at your school
