Fatemeh Ahmadpoor
Ph.D. Mechanical Engineering '16

Current Position: Assistant Professor, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, New Jersey Institute of Technology

“I had the opportunity to find out how academia works in the U.S., compared to my home country. I realized I have to prepare for a postdoctoral position after my Ph.D., improve my writing skills, develop networking, be active in the community and learn how to come up with new ideas for research. Many discussions and topics in this class are useful for everybody, regardless of their preferences about industry or academia. So even if someone's sure about their goal in industry, it is still worth a lot to participate in this program."
