During this period of time I’ve studied two more master courses, I’ve done a PhD, one post-doc, I lived abroad in the US and UK, I’ve taught in the University, I've done more than 20 job interviews and I worked for industry in the fields of Optical Metrology and Medical Devices. This aims to be an informal open-discussion session with the hope of shining more light into the next steps in your career.
