Physics Scattering / inverse scattering industry jobs?

AI Thread 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 'Working for defense company?'

I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...

Thread 'Physics Major Considering Masters in EE -- Need help!'

Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...

Thread 'Is a career in Optics/Photonics engineering right for me?'

So lately, my interest in the realm of optics/optoelectronics/photonics engineering has grown and I have started to seriously consider pursuing a career in the field. I have done a bit of career research and also have done some learning on the side to gather more knowledge on these topics. However, I have some questions on what a career in these fields would look like, and I wanted to find out more about this area to know what I would be getting myself into if I did make the choice to pursue...
