PhD Reading List

If you're are a prospective grad student, don't hesitate to reach out. I'm happy to help.

As a PhD student, you’ll experience both highs and lows — much like anything else you’ve invested a lot of time and effort into. It’s essential to acknowledge both and have a supportive person/group to share it with.

Here are some resources that have significantly helped me throughout my journey, along with the invaluable support I received from my advisors, friends, and family:

• The illustrated guide to a Ph.D. / The Sphere of Knowledge
• More of Matt Might's articles
• So You're Starting a PhD? by Mike Rosulek at Oregon State University.
• You and Your Research by Richard Hamming.
