Caroline Boudoux was invited for a talk in SPIE Photonics West «'Charting a Course' in photonics» to help students for careers in photonics.
A professional career is a lifelong journey of building technical, communication, and management skills, and learning how best to serve supervisors, students, and customers, agreed a panel of experts who each have successfully "charted a course" in photonics.
"From a startup point of view, I want you to be versatile," said Caroline Boudoux, cofounder of Castor Optics and a professor at École Polytechnique Montréal.
"The best way to get mentors," noted Andrea Armani of the University of Southern California, "is to take people out to lunch."
