报告摘要：

Becoming a professor is a challenging, but rewarding career choice. This presentation will not only examine the particular journey of the speaker from an undergraduate degree in process control at the University of Alberta in Canada to a world-renowned professor of process control in Germany, but also compare the different paths across countries to becoming a professor. As well, a brief introduction to the area of process control will be presented.
