Abstract: Opportunities exist in many shapes and forms and how we accept them is often molded by the people and environments around us. Returning to the department after 23 years, I am privileged to be able to discuss how the NERS department shaped my 'atypical' career path. Ideas gestated within NERS allowed me to start a company which has grown to become the premier company in its space.

The discussion will go through the foundation of the company, elaborate on results we've achieved in the last 15 years and how they pertain to knowledge workers in a remote workforce.

Bio: Dr. Agrawal (BSE Nuc. Eng '95, M. Eng '96) is a practicing Radiologist and co-founder of Vision Radiology (premier Teleradiology practice in U.S.). He credits much of the success of his company to work, ideas and ideals formed while a student in NERS.
