We had great fun meeting the next generation of Techers in Ann Arbor last year so we’re excited to host this year’s edition at my (JTS) home. If the weather is nice, then we can dine and chat in our backyard beer garden tables imported from Germany. We’ll send out some options for dinner choices closer to the event.

I graduated in 1978 with a BS in Biology (Ricketts). I met my wife in graduate school at Washington University in St. Louis, where I got my PhD in Neuroscience. We moved to the Boston area for postdoctoral positions: I did basic research at Brandeis University, before I moved onto applied research at MIT. This led to my first position at a start-up biopharmaceutical company called Cambridge Neuroscience. I stayed in the Biotech Industry my entire career, and after my last ‘regular’ job I formed my own company, McCarthy Consultants, Inc. I’ve been consulting with early-stage and start-up companies for over 11 years now, and I enjoy setting my own schedule and choosing who I want to work with. We recently moved from the Boston suburbs to beautiful Cape Cod. Cape life is very different from city life (Pasadena, LA, St. Louis, or Boston) and it would be great to meet other new and old Techers. I enjoy beaches, snorkeling, hiking, amateur photography and birding, and spending time with my wife, our 90-lb Coonhound and 2 Norwegian Forest cats. I look forward to meeting other Techers and learning about your life and career journeys, your interests & hobbies, and your hopes for the future.

We were both in Lloyd House, and Magnus majored in Engineering & Applied Science (Computer Science) and Heather majored in Chemical Engineering. Magnus has been working at Microsoft ever since, and Heather just finished up a Master’s Degree in Justice and Advocacy and is involved in a number of volunteer activities in the area. We had a lot of fun hosting Tables for Techers last year, and we look forward to doing it again!

I attended Caltech as a freshman in 69-70. Although I transferred to another university, I have many good friends and memories from Caltech. This is an opportunity for you to enjoy the company of other Techers in the area and meet new friends.

I graduated from Caltech in 1978 and went on to medical school. I’ve spent most of my career in biotech clinical research, and now I work as a biotech consultant. I look forward to meeting other Techers and hearing what you did with your Caltech education. Please join me for dinner in my house, overlooking Lake Washington.

Hi There!! PhD, biochemistry, class of 0. Associated with the Prufrock house and CalTech/JPL/Occidental orchestra.
Nashville has such a great restaurant scene that it’s hard to pass up a dinner out (plus, I have a cat). I personally have an ever-evolving list of new places to try, and I’m willing to take input if there’s something you’ve got on your list. The date can also be flexible.

Hi! My name is Arjun Chandrasekhar. I was a member of Page House, and I graduated in 2014 in Computer Science. I am now a professor of computer science at Southwestern University in Georgetown. I am excited for the chance to meet other Techers in the Austin area! This will be a very casual meetup – we’ll meet at Cosmic Saltillo, where you can order your own coffee, food, and/or drinks. Please feel free to bring significant others, kids, and pets. I look forward to meeting you!

Please let me know what restrictions (dietary or other) that you have.

I live in East Texas. Quite frankly, I’m curious how many other Techers are even in this area! Dallas doesn’t count. =) I got my PhD in computational protein design from the Mayo Lab (2005), and I lived in Avery. We can eat in my tiny home, or a local restaurant in Van/Lindale. I can also drive halfway if there’s only one of you, lol. Dinner’s my treat.

Welcome! Sandra (BS 1983) and Eugene (BS 1980) were Physics majors in Page House a long while (and a few temperature ticks) ago. A passion of Eugene’s – and source of lively sibling debates – is climate change, aka: what we can do about it, as individuals, scientists, science communicators, more. This dinner party theme is EUGENE’S ECO DINNER. Inspired by some of Eugene’s practices (he does not fly nor drive), we ask that you get to Sandra’s house in Pasadena (2.6 miles away from Caltech) by the most eco-friendly means possible (and you may tell us about it). Bring any beverage or dish that you deem eco-friendly. Obviously, a flat of plastic-bottled Fiji water will yield a buzzer blat; conversely, if you bring nothing, but have an articulate explanation as to why humans’ – or at least First World Pasadena humans’ – eating less is good for the planet, that is very much in the spirit of this lively dinner. To be clear, we WILL provide a delicious meal – the potluck concept is chiefly to trigger discussion. Just because Eugene has been known to eat crickets for protein doesn’t mean that you – or for heaven’s sake, Sandra – have to (blech!).

Pizza will be served. I’m a Caltech alumni, class of 1998. I work at Raytheon Technologies in Pasadena. Our team here supports software engineering at JPL for multiple programs. Our work includes maintenance of databases, development of new software, operations support of multiple missions, and IT support for missions on the JPL campus. We’d like to use this Tables for Techers oppportunity to familiarize students with some of the software engineering work that is available in the local area. I’d also like to meet current students to share our experiences of life after Caltech. There will be other managers and engineers present at the event for the students to meet and gain insight into their career experiences. The meal will be hosted at the Raytheon Pasadena office located near Lake Ave and the 210 freeway.

I am a double alum of Caltech. I graduated with a BS in Engineering and Applied Science in 2000 with a concentration in ME (there was no ME degree at the time). I started in Page house and have a lot of great memories, but became unaffiliated later. I spent lots of time in the south houses as well, mostly Dabney and Ricketts. If there was an event on campus, I wanted to be there – grease frosh, Apache, drop day and more 🙂 I returned for a PhD in Bioengineering which I completed in 2005. I have been local ever since and am now a professor and program director of MS in Medical Device Engineering at KGI. I didn’t plan on becoming a professor, but here I am!

I would love to host guests, any age, at my house in Upland for a dinner I make and/or cater depending on the food needs. It’s a big world out there, and it takes effort to stay involved and connected.

We’d love to connect with other Techers! Josh is voting for tacos over BBQ. If you’d rather bring your own grillables, that’s fine too. If you have serious food allergies and would like to attend, please let me know so we can try to accommodate you.
