Kara LeslieDanish Noorani’s Updates
Introduction: Danish Noorani
Hi, my name is Danish Noorani. I was born and raised in Chicago. I am a Junior at UIUC studying Computer Science -- especially intrigued by algorithms and machine learning. In my free time I like trying new dishes, walking around the city, and practicing meditation.
This semester, I am doing an internship at a startup in San Francisco, and also taking online courses to fulfill my gen eds. My uncle also works for WHO so I have always been curious about global health from an early age. Thus, the course is an ideal choice given my circumstances. I hope by the end of the course to become more informed on the issues of Global Health.
One of my favorite innovations is the self driving car. I know it has not come out yet, but I believe it will have an enormous impact when it is released in a couple of years. It has the potential to ease the life of countless individuals who for medical or emotional reasons do not currently drive.
Hi Danish, pleasure meeting you!
Your interests seem very intriguing. I also enjoy walking around Chicago (although not in the winter) since it is so beautiful. The fact that your uncle works at the WHO is really cool since my goal in the future is to work for a supra-governmental agency such as the WHO.
I also see a lot of potential for self driving cars, but agree with Kara regarding the numerous ethical concerns that they raise.
Hope to read more intriguing posts from you soon!
Hello, Danish! It's great to meet you!
Congratulations on your internship and I hope you're enjoying it! I've always wanted to visit San Francisco, it seems like such a cool place.
I agree with you that the self driving car is a really neat idea and could help countless individuals. I'm still skeptical of it myself however for all of the ethical problems it proposes such as the decisions the car would have to make when a crash was imminent but I definitely do see the potential of it!
I look forward to reading more of your posts and communicating with you!
