Indian Americans Aditya Grover, Bharath Kannan and Aditi Raghunathan have been featured on the Forbes 30 under 30 list for science.
Grover, an assistant professor at UCLA, has taken on multiple teaching responsibilities, including the development of his own course on AI and climate change in 2022. Earlier this year, he led the development of the first AI-based weather and climate model, ClimaX, designed for tasks such as weather forecasting, atmospheric data analysis, and climate pattern prediction.
Additionally, he is in charge of the Machine Intelligence group, which concentrates on creating AI systems capable of interaction and reasoning with limited supervision.
Kannan the co-founder of Atlantic Quantum, is focused on addressing a significant challenge in quantum computing—the high error rates associated with quantum bits. The company's quantum computing architecture showcased low error rates in a recent paper.
With $9 million in financial backing secured thus far, Kannan also inked a $1.25 million contract with the Air Force in September. He completed his undergraduate studies at Rutgers University and pursued his postgraduate studies, earning a Ph.D., at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Raghunathan, an assistant professor at Carnegie Mellon University, is geared towards enhancing the reliability of AI systems for safety-critical applications, such as healthcare and self-driving cars. While current AI systems exhibit high capabilities, they are known for their brittleness, which can lead to catastrophic errors.
Raghunathan's work focuses on identifying and addressing various failure modes in existing AI systems to ensure their safer deployment in critical scenarios. She earned her bachelor's degree at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, and completed her Ph.D. at Stanford University
