One Down...

[TCO]

poor kitty. where can i find a smart, flexible, classical E/m person (radio/microwave fields and interaction with conductors) to look at a problem that I have. Will pay for the work. Need to have an NDA. Needs to be done fast. I have a good conception for the problem, what I want answered, what a quality answer is, but I DON't have the time or background to go through it myself. Have one person in house (not on my team) who can do this level of stuff but he is generally busy, and I've had poor results getting stuff from him.

Don't know. Contact a bored grad student

Not me, though. Got some stuff to do in the next couple of weeks (2 preliminary exams and an oral presentation to give).

[KrazyHorse]

Call up a local physics department and talk to somebody in:

plasma physics, condensed matter, or astrophysics

[TCO]

I was hoping for something a little better than that. Maybe I need to go to EE if 'zoics dudes can't handle it.

[KrazyHorse]

I've never tried to hire somebody to do work for me.

I always just solve everything myself (or at least try to).

[TCO]

You are younger and smarter than I am. I would really prefer to get someone smart and ride herd over them. I am pretty good at asking the relevant question and pushing to get the right kind of insights. Look at the laser that had to bounce for a million years to accelerate a ship from rest.

[TCO]

Oh...and you didn't even do me the grace of rising to the EE troll.

[Asher]

They use a form of laser, called phasers, in Star Trek.

[KrazyHorse]

Jackass.

Trying to explain why I don't know what to tell you, not brag.

[TCO]

That was better...

That's because the thought of an EE trying to actually solve EM problems had me laughing too hard.

[TCO]

Well...how about a professor? Or a PI at a national lav or something? I would pay some decent consulting bucks. Not insane...but more than regular salary for a scientist.

Wait...I thought the jackass smiley was the de rigeur rise...

[KrazyHorse]

Jackass was for laser beam problem.

Slip a few digits and all of a sudden nobody trusts your answers....

[TCO]

I trust you just fine. Value your insights a lot. I'm sure you could come up with reasonableness "catches" with work of mine as well.
