MEGA Academic night held on Feb 26 was the first time MEGA organized an event related to career in academia. We would like to thank Dr. Boris Stoeber, Dr. Gwynn Elfring, and Dr. Mauricio Ponga for agreeing to attend the session and answering the questions asked by the students. The event had 35 attendees and it included Master’s, Ph.D, and Post Doc students from the department. The professors talked about their careers as researchers and gave valuable advice for those aspiring to have a career in academia.
