Priyanka Ghosh
Senior Research Engineer - Laser Processing
I didn’t grow up seeing many women in engineering. In fact, I was the first woman in my family to pursue it. Growing up in Assam, India, I didn’t have a roadmap or role models to show me what a career in manufacturing or research could look like. What I did have was curiosity – a desire to understand how things worked, and a fascination with solving problems.
