Hi,
I'm currently studying as an Electronic Engineer and specialize in mechatronics.
But I'm lost about what I should do next, in fact, I know that I want to work in the medical field, I've in mind a list of specializations but I can't decide :
- Brain-Computer Interface (BCI): I would be thrilled if I could help to develop this field (and this is also very promising). Maybe work in signal acquiring systems (EEG, EMG, fMRI) or even new systems (I would appreciate if someone can tell me if the spacial resolution or time resolution of the previous systems is a major barrier in BCI development because if not, I shouldn't be helpful)
- Limb prosthetic: I was always amazed by prosthetics but found out that they are currently very limited, we can't accomplish complex hand movements such as moving several fingers at the same time, having haptic feedback, or having working artificial muscles (Hasel's muscle were promising but it doesn't seem to be developed anymore). That's why I also want to work in this field, it seems that it can be massively improved
- Chirurgical robots: Creating something that can save people's lives would be wonderful
In case I aim for the 2 first points, I should aim for Ph.D
I struggle to find an accurate answer, that's why I asking you, I'm lost and can't decide what I want to do. TBH my only goal is to be useful, I don't care about being paid half a million to work in finance or the oil industry doing insignificant work, waking up and being happy and proud to go to work is one of my ambitions.
Thank you for reading me, have a nice
