TYC Alumni Pathway Panel
29 October 2025 @ 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm
The TYC is hosting the second in a series of alumni events, led by recent former TYC member Vas Fotopoulos (now at MIT), at which former members come together to form a panel to present their career trajectory, and to answer questions from current TYC students and PDRAs.
They will give a brief introduction to themselves, share their journey so far and discuss their current work. The focus will be on career paths, pursuing postdocs or industrial positions after completing a PhD, and answering students’ questions.
The panel will be structured as an in-person event.
Vas has handpicked our panel, who we believe will inspire you, and provide a multitude of fascinating insights into life after PhD.
The event will be followed by a drinks social.
Registration is free but required
