Description
With the final months of the PhD coming closer, every graduate needs to make a decision about his or her future: pursue a career in science or in the private sector?
While graduates are familiar with the academic environment after several years of research at universities or other scientific institutions, the private sector remains a big unknown to many. So, how do you make a sound choice? Which is more suiting to your interests, personality, goals, and way of life?
In my talk I will provide you with my personal point of view: why I chose to work in industry, how things turned out as an industrial researcher, and how my career has developed ever since. An introduction to the technological problems that I faced trying to improve the performance of potassium hyperoxide based respiratory protection systems as well as optical coating technology will be given.
More importantly, I want to share my experience related to the way of working in industry and how it has shaped my thinking.
