PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Professional development is one of the three pillars of theta tau. Nu Epsilon chapter hosts a diversity of professional development events catering to our members interested in industry, grad school, law school, medical school, and more. Our professional development events help brothers to increase their professional development skills in resumes, cover letters, interviews, and online presence.

WORKSHOPS

We host workshops to help brothers increase their professional development skills... and we also make it fun!

5 MINUTE FLEX

At the end of each chapter a brother gives a 5 minute presentation on a job, internship, or research experience.

NETWORK

Theta Tau has a network expanding across 94 universities as of Fall 2023. With LinkedIn groups and our alumni connections, there is always someone to reach out to.

EXPERIENCES

Tulane Theta Tau brothers have worked in a range of fields and have some great experiences. Here are a few of the companies our others have worked at.

Aubrey Augustine

Physics & Russian '25

REU Undergraduate Researcher

Hear from Aubrey:

This summer I was part of an International REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) through the University of Florida. I spent 10 weeks at the University of Birmingham in the UK researching gravitational wave physics. My project was to evaluate dialectic deformable mirrors for correcting laser beams inside gravitational wave detectors like LIGO. I got to present my work at the end of the program at Maastricht University in the Netherlands.

Todd Jackson

Engineering Physics '25

Intern at Neuraxis

Hear from Todd:

During my internship at Neuraxis, I gained comprehensive experience across multiple engineering projects focused on medical devices. I worked on validating and verifying LabVIEW software for ASTM-compliant peel tests, optimizing leak decay testing systems for sterile environments, and conducting Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis for both cleanroom airflow and an insertable therapeutic hypothermia device. I developed proficiency in CFD tools like SimFlow and OpenFoam, modeled complex fluid dynamics, and created detailed technical documentation. This hands-on experience in a medical environment not only honed my skills in engineering analysis and problem-solving but also deepened my understanding of the regulatory and practical standards in medical device development.

Noah Philips

Biomedical Engineering '25

Physician Shadowing

Hear from Noah:

This past summer, I observed and learned about interventional procedures in the operating room under the guidance of Dr. Richard Sue, board certified interventional pulmonologist, including robotic bronchoscopy, Zephyr valve insertion, endobronchial ultrasound, and cryoablation therapy. I discussed and witnessed the challenges frequently encountered on medical devices that hinder procedure efficiency and contribute to patient morbidity.

Additionally, I leveraged my background in biomedical engineering to draft out potential ways to mitigate these shortcomings, highlighting strategies to re-engineer the devices and improve the experience for both the doctor and patient.
