Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around identifying industry job opportunities related to scattering and wave-like problems, particularly for individuals transitioning from academia. It encompasses various applications of numerical and analytic solutions to partial differential equations, with a focus on non-defense sectors.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses a desire to leave academia for industry jobs that involve solving scattering and wave-like problems, highlighting experience with numerical and analytic solutions to partial differential equations.
  • Another participant references a specific individual and their company, suggesting a potential connection to industry opportunities.
  • A participant mentions seismology and non-destructive testing as relevant fields where scattering concepts may apply.
  • Another suggests looking into medical imaging applications, assuming a broader interpretation of "industry."

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants present multiple perspectives on potential industry applications, indicating that there is no consensus on specific job opportunities or fields of focus.

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not clarify the specific qualifications or skills required for the mentioned fields, nor does it resolve the applicability of scattering problems in the suggested industries.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals transitioning from academia to industry, particularly those with a background in scattering, wave phenomena, or related fields in physics and engineering.

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.
