Ask HN: I'm an MD and a hacker. I would like to do something interesting.
I have an MD from a European university. I'm currently working as a junior physician in a university hospital.
I also enjoy hacking and have 5 fairly popular apps (in my country) in the Apple app store, one in android market. These are client server apps with the backend in python (using mostly django). I did all the coding and design alone. I've also done hardware projects using ucs (PICs and AVRs mostly, C and assembly). I have one first authorship in a peer reviewed journal.
Don't get me wrong, I find my current job very interesting. However, I can't shake the feeling that there has to be more out there...
I am looking for (worldwide, I would like to travel):
- Research groups where I can combine my skills and perhaps pursue a phd.
- Any tips&tricks on how to find these groups, and how to approach them.
- Any other ideas. Are you an MD and a hacker? Do you have suggestions on how to combine these skills?
