It can be difficult for students to launch a #career in the optics industry and to find mentors who can help them succeed outside the lab. We launched the Career Accelerator to fill the training and education gap and help students transition from academia to industry: bit.ly/4ba217y #academicsky 💡

Such an honor for me to receive this award named after Bob Boynton, who I never knew, but whose approach to science was an inspiration for me. His son just happened to attending #VSS2025 when the award was announced. The apple does not fall far from the tree.
