Physics Program Presents
Physics Beyond Academia: Careers in Industry
A talk by Aaron Buikema, Lightmatter
Friday, April 4, 2025
Brody Lab - Hegeman 107
12:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
While many physics undergraduates focus on academic or research careers, diverse opportunities exist within industry. I will discuss some common non-academic careers for physicists, essential skills (eg programming, data analysis), and practical advice for job searching, including insights from my own transition from academia to industry. A comparison of academic and industrial careers will be presented, along with examples of how core physics principles are applied in real-world settings. This talk aims to equip physics undergraduates with the knowledge to explore and pursue successful industrial careers.12:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
