DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Falgun Patel is the Principal Director of the Elec
 tronics and Photonics Laboratory at The Aerospace Corporation. He manages 
 a multi-disciplinary team and portfolio that includes energy storage and g
 eneration\, microelectronics\, and photonics. Falgun Patel received his B.
 S. degree (1995) in Optics from the University of Rochester\, M.S. (1997) 
 and Ph.D. degrees (2000) in Applied Science from UC Davis (emphasis on sol
 id-state lasers)\, and an M.B.A. from UCLA Anderson (2007). He has worked 
 in small and large companies (Agilent\, Boeing\, FLIR Systems) across role
 s in R&D\, applied R&D\, engineering\, program/product management\, busine
 ss development\, and operations.\n\n \n\nTalk title: Observations from a 2
 0+ professional career in STEM and a look towards the future\n\n \n\nAbstr
 act: By way of training\, I am a scientist. With time\, while continuing t
 o work in a STEM profession (lasers\, optics\, photonics)\, my role as a s
 cientist has evolved to include engineer\, project/program/product manager
 \, to a manager of people\, R&D\, products\, and operations. I have learne
 d that a career in STEM is very rewarding\, but even more so when one embr
 aces the many disciplines that overlap with science. In this presentation\
 , I will share key lessons I’ve learned over the course of 20 years\, wi
 th the goal that perhaps observations from my journey will help you chart 
 your path to a fulfilling STEM career.\n\n \n\nRSVP: tinyurl.com/WiSELeads
