Industry R&D: Using Physics to Prototype New Medical Devices and Other Emerging Technologies

I will discuss what I've learned in my transition from condensed matter physics to R&D. The talk will compare and contrast the experience of academic experimental physics research to that of developing new proof-of-concept or prototype technologies in medical imaging, computer vision, and in vitro testing. I will highlight which skills translated well and which were new. I will provide some tips for physics students considering starting a career in industrial R&D.
