Sorry, I’m not in academia, but since no one responded I thought I may suggest some things.

I think it’s important to be deeply interested in work whatever lab you find is doing, otherwise they’ll feel like they’re babysitting you.

My physics is weak, but if I had your skills, I’d work in developing open source software for microchip simulation, verification, and design.

There are many groups working in this around the world, it’s super interesting, very civilization useful, and is at a nascent stage.

Check out the FOSSi Foundation, their various events, the speakers, their interests, and if anything sparks your imagination.
