About the event
This meeting explores different career paths inside and outside academia for
researchers in NLP and related fields. We will hear two perspectives:
-
Prof. Albert Gatt (Utrecht University) will share insights
on the academic career path and what to expect in its later stages.
-
Dr. Saeed Arbabi (Head of Engineering at Presurgeo, former
postdoc at UMC Utrecht) will share his perspective on building a career at
the intersection of applied medical research and industry, reflecting on
his move from UMCU to leading engineering at a medical device startup.
After the talks, we will connect and network over pizza.
