Abstract

I will take the audience on a journey through the evolving landscape of AI and data science, where mathematical thinking meets real-world problem-solving. Drawing from my diverse experiences, building payment systems at Amazon, healthcare solutions at Athenahealth, and AI-powered creative tools at my startup Zerocoin Studios, in this talk, I will demonstrate how a problem-solving mindset opens unexpected doors in the AI era. The main emphasis will be on actionable insights that provide a clear toolkit needed to navigate the AI-driven world. Whether pursuing research, industry roles, or entrepreneurship, attendees will leave with specific strategies for building impactful solutions and the confidence to tackle problems they've never encountered before. This talk is designed to inspire curiosity, and provide practical takeaways that students can implement immediately.
