Ripdaman Malhans

I am a Master's candidate at Simon Fraser University with a passion for ML research across medical and robotics domains. I have always been interested in solving complex, multi-layered problems from the start of my career, whether that was during my time at HP as a developer or as a startup founder building AI tools in education. This interest also carried forward to starting a non-profit organization called the NeuTech Foundation where we are researching how to optimize AI in healthcare, with the goal of decreasing energy expenditure. What excites me most about building solutions in laboratory automation is that wet-lab research is what drives the progress we see in fields such as medicine or materials. I am motivated by the idea of building tools that work alongside researchers rather than replacing them, giving scientists back time without taking away their control.
