The panelists will share their experiences as mathematicians and computer scientists in industry.  Among the topics that we will address are:

 1.   What was your academic background before you took up your first position in industry?

2.   Are there positions in your company that are well-suited for someone coming from a background in pure mathematics research? 

3.   What are the skills that you think would be useful in an industry environment? 

4. What made you pursue your current career path? Did you always know that you wanted to pursue an industry career? Or did you consider going into academia?
