![]() He also does not meet up with me on a weakly basis to discuss. So I did not feel like this would be promising to work on. He just mentioned very vaguely that one maybe could extend some of the concepts used in my Master thesis but he couldn't tell me any possible applications for these abstractions. So currently I am quite lucky to have some advision and a perspective in research.įinally, my PhD advisor didn't give me a question to work one. I sent this "paper" to my advisor and the only thing he told me is that he would be too busy to read it in near future.Ĭurrently, I have another collaboration going with the guy I mentioned beforehand and several others who advise me more than my own advisor, although they work on completely different universities. The only thing I currently do, is to speak with some colleagues of mine over very specific questions. I also extended the question quite a bit to write a paper on my own about the topic without any advising at all. But I also did some good work I think.Īt the start of the year I investigated some other question on my own and managed to produce a positive result with the tools I learned from writing the first paper. The paper that we wrote had quite nice new ideas in it, however I felt my part in creating it was minor. I did not wonder and at that time I had the luck to write a paper with a guy, which still is like some mathematical godfather to me (and much more capable than me), who I met on a conference. First thing my advisor told me was that he had no time to spend on me as his oldest PhD student had to finish after over four years. However, things changed rapidly as I became officially a PhD student. After that I was quite exhausted but wanted to pursue a PhD at my university in the field I wrote my Master thesis in because I felt like the right thing to do I really like the people and also the topic I wrote my thesis on. This time was quite stressful for me personally as I tend to pressure myself too hard if I have to perform like this. The topic was one that I had chosen myself and I learned much new things writing it combining different areas that I did not know before. He gave this thesis the best grade possible and I felt I also deserved it to an extent. ![]() ![]() I started 1 1/2 years ago at the age of 22 and my PhD advisor was at least somehow involved as I wrote my Master thesis but gave me much freedom. If not feel free to move it elsewhere or delete it completely.Ĭurrently, I a have a half time position in Analysis and my doctoral advisor more and more turns out to be not very involved in my PhD. I am a young PhD student (24) at a Germany university and I am not sure whether this is the right place to ask this kind of question.
