Regarding polysilicon, which university is better for pursuing a Ph.D.? Or should I change fields and consider something like materials science instead?

Recently, my boss told me to focus on polysilicon produced by metallurgical methods in the future; earlier I also learned about high-purity alumina under the guidance of a senior colleague. Now I’m a bit confused and don’t know which direction to choose for my PhD studies, nor do I know which schools are better. Let’s discuss this – I’d like to learn too* study *. Thank you!
I recommend the metallurgical method for polysilicon; it is sufficient for solar-grade polysilicon (compared to the Siemens method), achieving a purity of 5–6N. Although the market is currently sluggish, in the long term there will still be a high demand for polysilicon, and costs will continue to fall. Once the profits from the Siemens process are reduced to a certain level, lower-cost metallurgical methods will gain an advantage.
Reply to 1# Qianxun Weizi: I’m not sure if that school is good; as long as it is strong in materials and chemical engineering, that should be fine.
Reply to 3# maxwell_112: Oh, I see. I’ll take a look and think about it. Thank you!
Reply to 5# 287789398: Well, it should be good. But if I want to pursue a PhD, I’m not sure which university to choose; it seems there aren’t many schools that are good at this field! Could you recommend a few?
It’s better to study multiphase flow; for example, there are professors at Zhejiang University, Tianjin University, Tsinghua University, and East China University of Science and Technology who work on topics related to fluidized beds. However, it’s difficult to publish papers on multiphase flow, and those who focus on this area face challenges in completing their doctoral studies
Reply to 7# Minos: Oh, I haven’t looked into that area yet; it seems to be related to chemistry. I think I have some knowledge of the principles of chemistry…
Go to Central South University for the metallurgy qualification exam! The metallurgy industry in Central and South China is among the best in the country!
Are there any more outstanding mentors? Could you recommend some for us? We could also establish a partnership between the school and the enterprise! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
This is for materials and metallurgy majors; there is no specialized program for polysilicon
