I was educated up to PhD as an experimental physicist, but most of the time I spend as a lecturer of classical physics to undergraduate students of engineering. With prevalence of modern theoretical physics on StackExchange, I wonder if I could any longer qualify as being physicist at all; but I still persist because I might have a special insight into engineering related problems. Cheers!
