Upcoming Seminar
How on earth did I get here? One man's path from school to industrial entrepreneur
Dr. Jean-Luc Fraikin, Spectradyne Inc.
October 2, 2024
4:00pm-5:00pm in tHSCI-103
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.
Seminars are held on Wednesdays at 4:00pm. All are invited to attend.
