When I was in school, I found it hard to learn about what it was like on 'the outside'— namely anything outside an academic career. In the hopes of shedding some light on what that life could look like for you, I'll share the path I took from undergrad math and physics major to founder and CEO of Spectradyne, a local startup that makes nanotechnology-based analytical technology for global pharmaceutical companies.

fluorescent nanoparticles
Fig. Micrograph showing fluorescent nanoparticles as they pass through a nanoscale constriction for analysis. Fluid flow in the cartridge is laminar, so particles follow smooth stream lines around channel features. Near the channel edges, where flow is slower, random Brownian motion of the particles can be observed in the paths.

Seminars are held on Wednesdays at 4:00pm. All are invited to attend.
