Many students and early career researchers wonder which next career step is right for them. The question “Academia or industry?” plays a central role. KIT Graduate School Computational and Data Science (KCDS) and KIT Career Service and Alumni jointly organize this panel discussion, where KIT alumni talk about their personal experiences, job profiles and career paths in computational and data science.

In this panel discussion held in English language, you will receive first-hand information from Alumni with a similar academic background, who have already gained a foothold in the world of work. We invite you to join the panel discussion with an informal get-together for more in-depth questions afterwards.

The discussion will be moderated by KIT alumn Christian Scharun (scientific author for MaiThink X) and he will be joined by the following KIT alumni on the panel:

Katharina Loewe – Research data manager @ KIT

Celeste Mayer - Senior Consultant for Risk Controlling @ L-Bank

Marcel Mikl - Senior IT-Consultant Data & AI @ codecentric AG

Lena Peter - Data Scientist @ Hitachi Energy Research

Admission free & without registration!

This event is part of the Wissenswoche Mathematik, a public event presented by Triangel and KIT Center MathSEE with lectures and talks, music and quiz, movie and cultural highlights - all on and around Mathematics. Join us at Triangel Open Space in Karlsruhe to delve into the world of modeling, prediction & simulation.
