As part of the Postdoc Appreciation Week 2024 we are offering the next Career Lunch Talk!

Katerina is an alumna of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, Institute of Radiation Physics, where she led the junior research group "Ultrafast X-ray Methods for Laboratory Astrophysics". After receiving her doctorate from the University of Oxford, she worked as a postdoc at Los Alamos National Laboratory and Senior Scientist in Prague. Since 2024 she is working at Infineon Technologies in Dresden as Senior Project Leader for product development in the field of high voltage for automotive. The topic of Career Lunch Talk #10 is "Superpower networking: how it helped me find a job outside academia". Katerina will talk about her career path and decision to take a position outside academia, and how her superpower helped her find a position in industry.

By Career Lunch Talks, we have come up with an event to which the HZDR Alumni Network and the Postdoc Center HZDR-TUD jointly invite. The aim of the Career Lunch Talks is to provide our guests with insights into various career paths, to initiate contacts with personalities outside the HZDR and thus to further expand and build professional networks in a wide range of fields. At each event, we invite personalities with different professional and technical backgrounds to talk about themselves, their careers and their networks as well as to discuss current career topics with us.
