Deep Tech, Unfiltered: Women Building What’s Next
PhysicsX is bringing together women working at the forefront of deep tech for an open conversation about building a career in the field: the opportunities, challenges, decisions, and lessons that come with it.
Our panelists — Viktoriia Oliinyk, Forward Deployed Engineering Manager at OpenAI; Anita Ramanan, Technical Program Manager at CuspAI; Isabel Gomez, Deployment Lead, Forward Deployed Engineering at OpenAI; and Vanessa Colomar, Partner at Dalloway — will share the experiences that have shaped their careers, what they’ve learned along the way, and the advice they’d give to those starting out today.
We’ll also look forward: where are the biggest opportunities emerging in deep tech, how is the industry changing, and what will it take to shape what comes next?
How the conversation will unfold:
6:40-6:50pm · Paths into deep tech: What first drew our panelists to deep tech, and the pivotal moments that shaped their careers.
6:50-7:05pm · Navigating the industry: The challenges they’ve encountered and the moments that tested them.
7:05-7:15pm · Lessons learned: The advice and perspectives they wish they’d had when starting out.
7:15-7:25pm · Where opportunity is heading: Where they see deep tech going next, and the areas with the greatest potential for the next generation of builders.
7:25-7:45pm · Open Q&A: Questions from the audience.
The panel will be followed by an open audience Q&A, with plenty of time afterward to continue the conversation over drinks.
