fAQ by SandboxAQ

Next up on the fAQ Podcast, Tai-Danae Bradley sits down with Samantha Davis, a postdoc resident on the AI Simulation team at SandboxAQ. Samantha shares her remarkable scientific journey, which spans from earning a PhD in physics at Caltech, where she built quantum teleportation networks, to her current work building virtual cell simulation engines for computational biology. But her path to these i...

In this episode of the fAQ Podcast, host Tai-Danae Bradley sits down with Daniel Litt, an assistant professor of mathematics at the University of Toronto, to discuss the rapidly evolving intersection of AI and mathematics. Bypassing the public speculation and social media hype, this conversation provides a practical look at some ways large language models are actively being used in high-level math...

In this episode of the fAQ podcast, Tai-Danae sits down with Jonathan Corbiere, the co-founder and CEO of Thought Cafe, an award-winning animation and design studio, to discuss the crucial role of visual storytelling in the age of deep tech. Jon shares his fascinating journey from being a kid with dreams of becoming an astronaut—a path unexpectedly changed by a colorblindness diagnosis—to becoming...

What does the next generation of deep tech leadership look like? In this episode of the fAQ podcast, Tai-Danae sits down with Natashia Kaur Raina, a senior at IIT Madras and a rising star in the quantum computing space. From growing up in a house filled wall-to-wall with books in Chennai, India, to balancing a myriad of professional and academic roles, Natashia shares where her incredible drive co...

In our next episode of the fAQ podcast, Tai-Danae Bradley sits down with SandboxAQ's Eneko Axpe to explore the creative and resilient mindset required to navigate and lead in deep tech. Innovation at the edge of physics demands more than technical brilliance; it requires the ability to communicate complex ideas, recover from massive failures, and foster healthy, high-performing teams. Eneko shares...

In this episode of the fAQ podcast, Tai-Danae explores the emotional and intellectual rigor required to solve impossible problems in Deep Tech with Tiffany Callahan, who was a Machine Learning Research Scientist at SandboxAQ before starting her current role at Manas AI as a Principal Machine Learning Engineer. Tiffany is a computational biologist with a fascinatingly unconventional background. Fro...

The fAQ Podcast is back from hiatus! In our first episode of season 3, Tai-Danae explores what it takes to lead and innovate at the bleeding edge of deep tech with SandboxAQ's Stefan Bogdanovic, Strategic Innovation Lead on the AQMed team. Moving from abstract scientific concepts to building real-world medical products requires a complete shift in mindset, and Stefan walks us through exactly how h...

Welcome to season 2 finale of fAQ! For this season, Tai-Danae and Adam focused on a single topic: What is actually happening inside a quantum computer? By the end of this season, you'll have a better understanding of the "how" of quantum computing. So get ready to go beyond the theory and dig into what's actually going on these machines that harness the fundamental forces of the universe! In this...
