This can help with profile-building regardless of field (on outreach to university professors)
Through the outreach initiative (apply here if you are interested: https://forms.gle/CZHcL1S33m5w6Q1M6), I have so far heard from several university professors, some of whom have shared guest lecture opportunities, industry advisory board opportunities, and even industry-focused research opportunities.
Here is how you can start reaching out to professors to potentially land:
Industry advisory board opportunities.
Research opportunities.
Guest lecture opportunities.
