On Wednesday, October 15, the University of Maryland Baltimore County SIAM Student Chapter hosted Conversations with Don Engel.  We were fortunate to have a distinguished guest speaker, Dr. Don Engel, Assistant Vice President for Research at UMBC as well as an affiliate assistant professor of physics, computer science and electrical engineering.  Dr. Engel has worked for Congress as a science and technology policy fellow and as a consultant to various federal agencies.  His research experience lies at the intersection of a variety of disciplines, from theoretical physics to biophysics to machine learning to a clinical residency in radiation oncology medical physics. Dr. Engel spoke about his diverse background and answered student questions on potential career paths.  Dr. Engel was an excellent guest providing invaluable advice and the event was enjoyed by all who attended.
