People in academia are like my perovskite nanocrystals. You feel
pressure from graduation, pressure from your boss, pressure from your families, or pressure from your peers. But believe me, you will shine brighter after the
pressure cycle was over, just like my perovskite nanocrystals got brighter after the
pressure process. (This is my favorite joke before I present my research
If you research high-pressure nanochemistry, there are a lot
of jokes you are entitled to say. Of course, high-pressure nanochemistry is a pretty interesting research subject. "High-pressure nanochemistry" I mention here refers to a subject to deal with physical and chemical property changes under 1-15GPa typically using diamond anvil cells.
The research community may not be as big as such as, for example, nanocrystal synthesis in general and perovskite materials, but there are some papers you should study before you conduct your experiments. More importantly, if you are familiar with high-pressure nanochemistry, you may relate your research with some research in physics or geology.
