Abstract:
Earning a bachelor’s degree in Physics is a huge accomplishment; but where do you go from there? Many in my class were on track to go to graduate school and onwards to a PhD and academia, but I wanted a more hands-on track for my career. Aerospace is an exciting industry that is almost always in demand and puts countless aspects of my physics knowledge to the test. I work mainly with optics and optoelectronics, but there are many more subfields of aerospace such as thermal, mechanical, electrical, radiation effects, and more. I hope to give you some insight into the industry and how I shaped my personal path at RIT to get to where I am now.
