Software engineer working with a company that does materiel handling AGV systems (basically fleets of robot forklifts). Not much in the way of cutting-edge, though I do spend a lot of time thinking about the ethical implications of automation these days.
Social sciences, expert/consultant position. We have our own in-house research, and collaborating with them is always good fun
Cool! So like a company that consults out on social sciences issues for other companies, and you collaborate with your in-house research team to try to answer questions your customers have?
PhD candidate, archaeologist in a physical geography department. I read dirt to reconstruct ecosystems over time.
I'm a PhD in chemical engineering and work in a testing laboratory for electrical engineering insulating materials. My dissertation was using predictive modelling (some data mining and machine learning, some more classical statistical methods) to estimate material properties from spectral data. I'm trying to combine a full-day engineering job with writing more journal articles in my spare time. Currently not going well but at least I'm not lacking for data!
Haha that sounds like it must be keeping you real busy! I'm currently spending most of my days writing and it takes up so much time on its own I can't imagine trying to combine that with a full time job. More power to you!

I'm a postdoctoral researcher in chemical engineering with a background in mechanical engineering. I have been working on different materials (composites, nanocomposites, conductive coatings), but I am now working on an atmospheric water harvesting material to produce water in remote locations with low energy demands.
That's fantastic! Work on preventing / ameliorating water scarcity is very important, and (unfortunately) I think it's only going to become more important going forward. That really sounds like the kind of impactful work I'd love to be involved in after I finish my PhD!
