Viral Shah, an Indian Computer Scientist, brings into light how computation can work towards solving some of the world’s biggest climate change issues. Bringing a fresh insight to getting involved in the social impact space through the Julia Language, his very own creation, Viral Shah, who is the co-founder and CEO of Julia Computing, brings forward opportunities through which students can get involved in making a difference and following their ambitions in tandem. Emphasizing on the steady growth of the Technology Industry, his talk strongly conveyed the importance and necessity of computation to solve global issues, motivating students to take a leap of faith and delve deeper into their interests within the industry. Viral Shah is an Indian computer scientist and is the co-founder and CEO of Julia Computing. Albeit a common belief that productivity and performance do not function in tandem in programming, he defied the odds through co-creation of the Julia Language, a high impact language that is now widely adopted all across the world. He was actively involved in the Aadhaar Project, which provided Indian residents a 12-digit unique identity number based on their biometric and demographic data. Based on his vast experience and exposure within this industry and with regard to the government of India, he co-authored the Book Rebooting India; a call to reshape the country. In 2019, he was awarded the J. H. Wilkinson Prize for Numerical Software for his work on the Julia Programming Language, and in 2013, he received The Spatial Ecology and Telemetry Working Group (SETWG) award for the co-creation of Circuitscape. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
