Balancing OR and HCI might be good practice. ;) | |

Even if it is not your main area, you could still use your dissertation to integrate both HCI and OR. OR is applying statistics to help people make decisions. HCI focuses in interfacing humans and computers. Visualizing and navigating stats and metrics for decision-making spans both, as do a few other topics. I certainly wouldn't go $100k out of pocket in tuition to avoid a little cross-disciplinary research. | |

He was on my thesis defense committee and this is first time in 5 years he is taking a PHd Student(me).I had asked my advisor for her advice on switching to other prof, but he advised against it saying his research is crap (literally). But everybody in university knows the Prof. is very good. So i asked my adviser directly for PHD and he said he has no funding and will let me know in future. | |
| Feb 13, 2014 at 23:44 | comment | added | james234 | most of the people my adviser hires for programming (By the way we are in HCI which is part of industrial and human factors engineering)take help of other PHD students in CS and get their work done. I have repeatedly pointed it out to my adviser and he lets them go.He gets gamed by students a lot. My issue is i want to be in HCI and the other prof. offered me PHD in Operations Research. The other prof. is highly established and has won the Frank Edelman Award in OR but its not my field. Also ,my adviser said has no funding for my PHD,but asks other prof's for RAs.IDK what the hell is going on | |
