| What advice do you have for people that are looking to work at Agilent? | If you like to work with brilliant people on products that haven't been invented yet, then Agilent is the place for you. |
| Can you share your thoughts about Agilent values? | Innovation and contribution - As a member of R&D, innovation is key. I've received patents on the work I've done simply because what I do hasn't ever been done before! Trust, respect, and teamwork - I've asked a lot of people over the years what they like best about their jobs and the first thing everybody says is "I love the people I work with". Uncompromising integrity & Accountability - In R&D we will not let a product go out of the factory if we think the quality is compromised at all. We have a reputation to uphold and we owe it to our customers. Focus & Speed - My group's goal has been to put out products that respond to customer's ever changing needs. Because of that, we put out a product or a product update every 6 months. |
| What is your source of inspiration? | My inspiration comes from my colleagues. I look up to and value those that are experts in their fields and are able to share it with others. |
| Do you have any tips for Innovating? | Don't force it. Relax and it will come to you. I've come up with a number of innovations playing ping pong with my co-workers. |

| What has been the most challenging part of your job here at Agilent Technologies? | Learning new technologies. The things you learn at Agilent can't be taught at a university. I've been on a steep learning curve since I got here and I don't ever want it to stop! |
| Can you describe some of the projects you are doing for Agilent Technologies? | My last project consisted of solving what seemed to be a non-deterministic problem. Turns out you just need to work with some of the brightest people in the world to discover that not only is it predictable, we created an algorithm that allowed a 4th grader to do the same work as a 10 year veteran in the telecommunications industry! |
