Got into your grad schools.. What now 

I have a couple already, I might make more.

Glad this was potentially relevant to your situation! You still have some time to decide.

Hi Rajeev, I went to Purdue for my undergrad in Electrical Engineering, and a lot of the research on semiconductors is actually spearheaded by the EE department. I would reach out to Professor Muhammad Alam in the ECE department. When I took a class with him and asked him about his research he hinted about working on perovskites. Also please reach out to Professor Mark Lundstrom. He is extremely approachable and very interested in helping students in my experience. He was also the head of semiconductor research at Purdue and may be the head of engineering as a whole at this time. Purdue engineering has its challenges as a school overall, but the semiconductor department is exceptional. If that is what you are interested in you have definitely found the right school. Good luck Rajeev! And if you don't already know this Mark Lundstrom founded NanoHub which provides open source education and resources on semiconductor free online (RU-vid and on their webpage) ! I would highly recommend you use them to aid in your studies wherever you go, and don't forget to give back to the community when you can. Hopefully you find this advice helpful

@@tresellers3453 Thank you for your helpful pointers. Just a query, as I’ve received an admit from ChemE dept, how feasible/likely is it that the prof from other dept (in this case, ECE) will accept me as his/her student?

Wow glad to see that people are helping each other out. To answer your later question first, professors often allow students from departments outside of their own to work in their lab. I've been in medical imaging labs that included EE, CS, mechE, and BioE students. It's just a matter to reaching out to the professor to see if things are a good match. Regarding the decision between Purdue and NTU, I'm not familiar with the fields enough to give too much advice. That being said, I don't know if going to NTU would necessarily mean low job opportunities. If the program is strong, then I imagine there should be ample choices when you are looking for work after graduation, since people in the field know which programs are good. Is your concern that there might not be a great deal of job opportunities for your specialty if you want to stay in Singapore after graduation? If so, and there are not too many openings in the area, then yes, I imagine you might have to move again for your new job after finishing school.
