Tasnuva - "My career with Applied Materials started on my first day of graduate school, with an ongoing research project that was followed by a 6-month co-op. I was encouraged to be innovative and develop a test system from scratch, which resulted in a patent. Working at Applied, my manager and fellow team members give me the liberty to take risks, speak my mind, and make bold changes. Everyone on my team has diverse responsibilities that contribute to the team’s success, just like the different business units at Applied contribute to the organization’s success."
