Physics Colloquium
MIT Lincoln Laboratory overview, and observations of an early career physicist
Conner Brown
Process Integration Engineer MIT Lincoln Laboratory
Abstract:
“Where do you see yourself in 5 years?” is a question that everyone is asked many times over the course of their career. When I was preparing to graduate with my B.S. in Physics, I found that I didn’t really have a clear answer to that question. As such, I want to share some insight into how my first 5-year plan went to better inform current students. I will be giving this overview of my early career path, and on my current role at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. Topics will include national security, the different phases of technology development, and the role that early career physicists often find themselves playing in the workplace.
Speaker Bio:
I am an experimental physicist, currently working on semiconductor laser technology and national security applications. My recent work has been focused on fabrication process integration for a variety of III-V laser devices. My previous work centered around fabricating and qualifying detectors for radioisotope identification. Another passion of mine is helping to make the career options in STEM more visible and approachable, through honest conversations about the joys and challenges that we each face.
