Mathematical lessons from industry and academia

Dr. Dhavide Aruliah will share his perspectives on building a professional career based on a mathematical education. In particular, his academic experiences—both as a student and later as a university professor—prepared him in unexpected ways for his duties as a director and executive in industry. Some of the lessons learned have been hard ones, but they gave him insights about people and organizations—universities, corporations, and start-up companies.
