SUMMARY

Professionals seeking to transition from academia to industry in the field of scattering and wave-like problems should explore opportunities in seismology, non-destructive testing, and medical imaging. The discussion highlights the expertise in numerical and analytic solutions to partial differential equations, particularly in Fortran and S-matrix techniques for non-perturbative photoionization. Philip J. Wyatt's contributions and his company, Wyatt Technology, are noted as relevant resources for networking and job opportunities in these sectors.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of partial differential equations and their applications
  • Proficiency in Fortran programming for numerical simulations
  • Familiarity with S-matrix techniques in quantum mechanics
  • Knowledge of medical imaging technologies and their principles
NEXT STEPS
  • Research job openings in seismology and non-destructive testing
  • Explore medical imaging technologies and their applications in industry
  • Learn about advanced numerical methods for solving partial differential equations
  • Network with professionals at Wyatt Technology and similar companies
USEFUL FOR

Individuals transitioning from academia to industry, particularly those with a background in physics, engineering, or applied mathematics, will benefit from this discussion. It is especially relevant for those interested in solving complex scattering problems in various industrial applications.

Seeking to leave academia for industry and am seeking help identifying non-defense jobs where one can solve scattering / wave-like problems.

I enjoy both numerical and analytic solutions partial differential equations where I have worked on parallel solutions to the TDSE in fortran and analytic S-matrix techniques for non-perturbative photo ionization problems. Like the problems, but mostly interested in branching out and learning something new.

Assuming you don't limit the definition of "industry" too narrowly, look at applications in medical imaging.
