Abu’s Story

When Abu was 15, he discovered the potential of machine learning. Now what he’s building could help doctors and patients all over the world.

Originally from Afghanistan, Abu came to the United States with his family when he was a child. He first came into contact with machine tools in the first year at high school. 

In a programming course, the students should then develop something that shows how to solve a problem using technology. “All the others have been working on a calendar,” the student said. However, he wanted to create something that can really help other people. So he set himself the ambitious goal of being able to diagnose breast cancer more reliably.
