Fuel cells. Not the technology that will be taking effect immediately but damned interesting are that is PhD worthy and preparing me for many possible fields. It occurred to me recently when debating an environmentalist concerned about oil trains, and my claiming that renewable energy incentives are where environmentalists should be, that I actually have more expertise than much of the environmentalists.

I'm a metallurgist who's worked in the heavy steel industry for the last 5 years. I currently work in oil and gas for an offshore equipment manufacturer and I'm working on my Masters in welding engineering. I also have a minor in history, with a focus on Northern European middle ages (i.e. Vikings and shit).
I'm also into science, civil discourse, video games, movies, sex, history, and esoteric occultism.

Philosophy (specifically ethics and philosophy of science/ epistemology), law, criminology and film. I'd make subreddit for film and philosophy, which I am most passionate about, but /v/movies isn't even active while /r/TrueFilm has terrific mods and content. Philosophy just won't the active sub with the high-quality content i'd want it to be either (for now).
You are right in suggesting that I could become mods for them now, so that in the future when they do become active they will have a mod that knows his stuff, which actually I'll think about in the case of /v/movies.

I know modern/designer/hobby /v/boardgames rather well, having logged plays of 400+ in the last six years, and published one. I wrote maybe 25 /r/boardgames-exclusive reviews back in the day, so there's that. I study game theory and game design in my free time.
Teaching math is my vocation, so I'm well-versed in most undergraduate subjects. I don't do stats.
Contemporary music theory and performance is probably my next best topic. I play guitars, drums, keys, etc. Oh, that reminds me - someone needs to create /v/drums before norm comes over and squats on it. See /r/drums for context.

Starting an IT rotational program in 2 weeks, I'll be spending 27 months split between three IT departments at a large military contractor. I wouldn't call that an area of expertise yet, but hopefully soon. I'm also a fan of Arsenal FC, still recovering from celebrating the FA Cup victory two days ago, and moderator of /v/arsenal

Well on behalf of the scousers, I guess I'd begrudgingly congratulate you and say that we're happy we don't have to deal with that extra round of Europa league qualifications thanks to your win.

You're quite welcome, although I wasn't to thrilled with you letting Tottenham squeak into 5th on the final day
