Description
Ananya is the definition of innovator. She has built mind-controlled cars, brain-controlled prosthetics, and talking robots. She conducted genomics research, built a platform that puts genetic data on the blockchain, and worked for a VC fund and on AI at IBM. Oh, and she has her pilot’s license. Did we mention she’s only 21?!
After working in a gene-editing lab with CRISPR-cas9, Ananya developed a platform “that put genomic data on the blockchain,” allowing for anonymous uploading of genomic data to research data sets.
She has also developed various neurotech devices with sponsorship from Microsoft, like brain-controlled prosthetics, mind-controlled RC cars, MP3 players controlled with EEGs. Her brain-controlled RC car won the International Grand Prize at engineering.com's Impossible Science Challenge.
She worked doing AI at IBM, the Canadian Military, and at Elon Musk's Neuralink. She is now a student at Stanford University, trades energy commodities, and invests in startups as a venture capitalist. She is also a pilot and motorcycle license holder.
Ananya won Top 29 Canadians by Refinery29, Developer 30 under 30 award, the Top 23 Women in Tech in Canada and Top 100 Most Powerful Women Canada.
She has been on the Daily Planet Show, CBC, Global News, advised companies like Wealthsimple, Morgan Stanley, and Zappos, and speaks at various conferences around the world like Fortune's Brainstorm Finance, Websummit, Collision, EDCON, Singularity University and others.
In this event, Ananya shares her relentlessly positive worldview and why she believes we are capable of changing the world, if we only just keep learning, stay passionate, and refuse to follow the status quo.
