Physics Scattering / inverse scattering industry jobs?

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on transitioning from academia to industry, specifically seeking non-defense job opportunities that involve solving scattering and wave-like problems. The individual has experience with numerical and analytic solutions to partial differential equations, including parallel solutions to the Time-Dependent Schrödinger Equation (TDSE) in Fortran and S-matrix techniques for non-perturbative photoionization. There is an interest in exploring new fields, with suggestions for potential applications in seismology, non-destructive testing, and medical imaging. The conversation also references Philip J. Wyatt and his company, indicating a connection to relevant industry expertise.

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.
 

Thread 'Career Prospects (outside of academia)'

For some background, I'm currently a 3rd year physics major with an astro specialization studying in Canada, and as undergraduates are want to do I'm regularly evaluating my career prospects down the road. I also plan on pursuing grad school when I've completed my degree. It might just be my anxiety acting up a little, but with a lot of the government funding drying up for public science research broadly in the US, the 'industry' everyone keeps talking about when questions like this are...
