My darling doctor
Katie tells me that she has now received signature pages from all four of her committee members, and plans to submit her thesis tomorrow morning. At which point she will be done.

She tells me that the office where you file a thesis gives out lollipops...with "Ph.D" on the wrapper.

Anyone out there looking to hire a Ph.D in Physics with experience programming in C++?

Please pass along my congratulations to Katie!

(And to be sure that the margins are the right size. For my Master's, somehow mine were off by 1/8th of an inch, and being 3,000 miles from the U in question at the time/deadline day, I had to frantically find someone I knew there online who was willing to do a new printout and walk it across the street for me)

Congratulations to her! That "done" feeling is a good feeling.

Depending on whether she finds "experience programming in C++" more or less important than "Ph.D. in Physics" more important for the sort of job she wants, we're hiring. I think we're hiring for the C++ signal-and-matrix-processing-library team (which I work on), as well as what's mentioned on that page; that's perhaps more interesting for someone from her background. And she'd be far from the first Physics Ph.D. we've hired.

Please tell her congrats!

I don't know if they are hiring, but especially if she doesn't mind emphasis on C++ rather than physics, she should look at Autodesk because it has pretty good benefits, so if she finds a position that looks interesting....
