How did that turn into you working at Cadence?

Very good question.

So my background is actually pretty interdisciplinary.

I've done research in kind of electrical engineering, uh, mechanical engineering, uh, bioengineering, tissue engineering, et cetera.

And then during my PhD work, um, as a kind of a bioengineer at Georgia Tech, I realized that the way we do biological research right now is very slow.

What I mean by slow, um, biology makes incremental discoveries and improvements, and it's very reductionist in nature.

For example, you might spend years, if not decades, just trying to understand how molecule A on cell A interacts with molecule B on cell B.

So tell me a little bit about like, where does the compute lie? What system does it need to run on? I, I'm very curious.
