Comment on Ask HN: PhDs/students, how do you come up with viable problems/solutions?

Comments

Normally my workflow is: My advisor provided me with general research direction, and from there, I conduct a SLR to identify gaps in the literature. This helps to find areas where research is lacking or where new approaches could be explored. Once I identify a gap, I refine it into a specific, viable research problem that aligns with both feasibility and innovation. The SLR also helps me see what methodologies have been used and what potential solutions might work.
