Lael Fisher, a recent PhD from Northwestern
University, has found a professional home in the Navigation and
Geopositioning Systems Department at The Aerospace Corporation in Los
Angeles, California. Recently, Chad Topaz had the opportunity to ask
Lael about her transition, which includes a switch from fluid dynamics
to orbital dynamics and a switch from individual research to a team
environment. Lael discusses the scientific and career development
aspects of her recent experiences in this Q&A
interview.
