SPEAKERS
Noor Siddiqui
Student, Stanford University
Right now I’m doing research under Anshul Kundaje (deep learning for genomics). Past: researcher under Sebastian Thrun (skin classifiers).
While at Stanford, I studied Computer Science, started a talk series called #nofilter, ran a translational group for researchers in the Stanford AI Lab, cofounded Stanford’s Center for Distributed Trust, and taught a class on distributed technologies.
Before Stanford, I started a digital health company called Remedy, that helped doctors get instant answers from specialists. We deployed our product to doctors and nurses at Harvard affiliated hospitals. I met some of my favorite people through the Thiel Fellowship.
