Transitioning from academia to industry involves multiple challenges, 
some of them real some of them perceived. The discussion will zoom-in on 
typical challenges of the transition and offer some advice to prepare 
you for the hurdles you might face.

Dr. Zoran Zvonar received his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering  
from Northeastern University, Boston, and after postdoctoral experience 
at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, joined the semiconductor 
industry. During his R&D career at  Analog Devices (1994-2008) and 
at MediaTek (2008-present) he has contributed to multiple generations of 
chips and software products for cellular phones. He is MediaTek Fellow 
and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Fellow.
