Hi, I'm Jules Padova
a 17 yo AI researcher & problem solver trying to make our world a better place using AI, BCI, neuroscience and other emerging technologies.
Organizations I've worked with or been part of
What I'm doing
Solving real world problems
I have a passion for solving complex problems, I use my time trying to solve some of our world's most important issues
Doing research
I love trying to push the boundaries of my knowledge and what currently exists to develop long term research projects
Having interesting discussions
I really enjoy having interesting depth discussions about a wide area of subjects. I love understanding the other's person perspectives and learning through them. You will see I do ask a lot of good questions.
Reading & Writing
I love reading; ranging from research papers and sociology books to philosophy. It allows me to improve my world model and develop new ideas, perspectives and questions. I often share those by writing.
Sharing my knowledge
I consider knowledge sharing very important. I love to teach and expose ideas to people through, discussions, podcasts, articles and conferences. I think doing this at every scale is fundamental for humanity's progress
Traveling
Even if you can read "France" on my passport, I consider myself as a global citizen. Whenever I can travel I love discovering new cultures, social interactions and models, ideas and people. It is a very nourishing activity for me.
My work
Highlights
My work for the UN to reduce air pollution in Mumbai
Our recommendations could result in -7% of car emissions for people attending the event, 7M rupees for local NGOs, and 12M people aware.
