Aris is in his final year of the BSc Computer Science program at the University of Calgary. He has worked for 2 years as a consultant at Deloitte in Artificial Intelligence (Calgary/Toronto), 1 year as a full-stack blockchain developer at a startup (Waterloo), and 1.5 years as a cloud engineer (Toronto).

His research interests are at the intersection of computer vision, robotics, natural language processing (NLP), and artificial general intelligence (AGI). He believes the world will be a very different place when these four pillars become fully-developed. Aris is also very business-driven, having led several entrepreneurial initiatives (primarily on the non-technical side) over the past 6 years.

He plans to give back to the University of Calgary through volunteer and mentorship programs at the Scholar’s Academy.

Hobbies/interests:
