Last 7th of May, an ICONS Coffee session was held in the cafeteria were a group of ICFOnians had the chance to share a coffee and have an informal conversation with Dr. Andrew Brown, senior director of global business development in SPIE.
Dr. Brown has worked both in academia and industry. He developed his research skills during his PhD in St. Andews University. Also, he worked for more than ten years in Aculight Corporation, a laser development and manufacturation company. He was a volunteer teacher in Liberia and now works for SPIE.
The attendees were able to ask questions about his personal and professional life. Given the informality of the ICONS coffee session, Dr. Brown shared with us unique perspectives of scientific careers and practices, as well as the challenges faced by researchers to create a successful business. In addition Dr. Brown pointed out that one of the most important things in our life is knowing people. Maybe for this reason he counts the number of personal cards that he gives every time that he travels around the world.
