For me, I was always interested in understanding the purpose of things and how it was engineered to serve that purpose, whether it's organic or inorganic, like we were talking earlier about your curtain holders. They serve a clear purpose and they were engineered with that purpose in mind. And growing up, I had a lot of interest in

seeing things, touching things, feeling things, and trying to really understand the root of how it was designed to serve that purpose. And, you know, obviously brain is just a fascinating organ that we all carry. It's a infinitely powerful machine that has intelligence and cognition that arise from it. And, you know, we haven't even scratched the surface in terms of how all of that occurs.

But also at the same time, I think it took me a while to make that connection to really studying and building tech to understand the brain. Not until graduate school. You know, there were a couple moments, key moments in my life where some of those, I think, influenced how the trajectory of my life changed. got me to studying what I'm doing right now.

You know, one was growing up both sides of my family, my grandparents had a very severe form of Alzheimer and it's, you know, incredibly debilitating I mean, literally, you're seeing someone's whole identity and their mind just losing over time. And I just remember thinking how both the power of the mind, but also how something like that could really lose your sense of identity.

lose the power yeah a lot of what we know about the brain actually comes from these cases where there are trauma to the brain or some parts of the brain that led someone to lose certain abilities and as a result there's some correlation and understanding of that part of the tissue being critical for that function

And it's an incredibly fragile organ, if you think about it that way, but also it's incredibly plastic and incredibly resilient in many different ways.

Correct. Another key moment that sort of influenced how the trajectory of my life have shaped towards the current focus of my life has been during my teenage year when I came to the U.S., I didn't speak a word of English.
