Profile Summary

I am a founder and CEO of companies involved in neuroscience, drug-discovery, computation, AI, and data science, formulations and organic products. I am also a science communicator, having delivered more than two dozen TED, TEDx talks, and have a few documentaries cover my work. My Ph.D. training was interdisciplinary, with neuroscience from UT Austin and collaborative mathematics work with Curant Center of NYU, and cell biology collaboration with Northwestern University. I then conducted postdoctoral research at UT Austin and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in drug-discovery and artificial intelligence. After that I was a PI at IISER-K, CDRI, and a few other institutes. Now I am the founder of Ioncure Tech, AI Vidya, AI Pathshala, a blockchain initiative (Honestblocks pharma), Briarwood Drive Diabetes food, UK study links edtech company. I have previously also been the chief scientific officer of an innovative data science company www.dataisnotjustdata.com that develops new tools, solves high-end data analytics problems. My research work has been in the popular press in mention-able venues, such as Nature News. I am happy to help and collaborate on a broad spectrum of science research projects, formulations, consulatncy in setting start ups, artificial intelligence, data science, supply chain, blockchain, science writing, and science outreach efforts.
