Description

TOPTICA Photonics SE is a leading provider of high-end laser systems for scientific and industrial applications, with technologies used in quantum technologies, biophotonics, materials processing, and metrology. The TOPTICA Group employs over 600 professionals across seven corporate entities.
In this talk, I will share my personal path from Physics studies at university into industry and discuss my current role as a Technical Sales Expert at TOPTICA. Furthermore, through examples from female colleagues across different departments of the company, the presentation will highlight the different roles physicists can take on beyond academia, from research and development, production, product management, or service. The talk aims to provide insight into how physicists contribute to modern photonics industries and help shape future technologies.
