| Introduction | I like to be on the bleeding edge of new technologies and scientific breakthroughs. The best way to predict the future is to invent it, and it helps to be surrounded by fellow innovators at Cambridge University. I'm interested in a huge variety of areas, and I've been incredibly fortunate to have fun experiencing and innovating in many of them. Things I've done in technology include: - designing various chips for startups and large Silicon Valley companies, including revolutionary 3D graphics, multimedia processors, network traffic and encryption processing - creating better algorithms for simulating the biochemical interactions within cells - trying to develop new Machine Learning techniques for extracting cancer-marker genes from gene microarray data - writing software for innovative areas in advertising, games and music - having Professors laugh at my face when I predict technology, only to then see those predictions come true several years later - recently predicting a new theoretical law for computing and then seeing it experimentally validated by others |
