This episode in so many ways is a reminder for us. It is a reminder that you
can accomplish and do whatever you set your mind to, regardless of your age.
Monish's story is a trail-blazing example of how small nudges in one's
childhood can transform someone. Monish, age 18, is one of the youngest
Computer Scientists working in the field of Deep learning, Cognitive
Computing, and Cloud Computing. Monish, a child prodigy, excelled in several
Olympiads and went on to pursue research in mathematics at Harvard University.
Over the past several years, Monishwaran has developed numerous projects,
using Artificial Intelligence, that target the field of healthcare ranging
from accelerating the diagnosis of Schizophrenia to combating Malaria using
blood diagnosis. Monishwaran has been invited by several universities to give
Master Classes and Guest Lectures in the field of Artificial Intelligence and
Quantum Computing. Besides, he is a TEDx speaker, and keynote speaker at
several international tech conferences. Monishwaran aims to spread the
knowledge of computer programming and guide novice developers and children
through his books and lectures. His project, The Neural Connect, uses deep
learning to change the way humans interact with the environment and provides a
new communication media for people who can't communicate effectively. His
other inventions include Project TAR-Teaching Through Augmented Reality,
Assistive technology for the Hearing and Visually Impaired, Anti-traffic
congestion system, Air mouse. He is currently involved in bringing the power
of Quantum Computing to the hands of common people. "I made a washing machine
when I was in primary school, by 8 I was proficient in 3 programming languages
(!!) My life long curiosity to know about how things work started at an early
age when my dad and I used to dismantle and put together various machines
around the house." Monish was moved after he witnessed an accident of a
visually impaired individual and wondered how the technologies that he was so
taken to, could help. As someone familiar with Machine Learning(ML), he set
out to build an ML-Computer Vision based interface that provided voice
feedback to the user augmenting their auditory abilities. Monish says, "my
goal is to use technology to improve the lives of people." The projects he's
worked on range from computer vision for the blind to tools that aid doctors
in diagnosis of neurological conditions like ALS and Parkinsons in
collaboration with India's leading mental health institutes NIMHANs.
