The emerging role of AI in cancer research | Hercules Konstantopoulos | TEDxVUW

In this period of change, what if we can see promise instead of only turmoil? Growing up by the mountains of Northern Greece, Hercules Konstantopoulos developed a fascination with the night sky and all its intrigue. After a career as a researcher in astrophysics that spanned ten years and four continents, he became drawn to addressing a greater variety of data-related problems. Data science ensued with work on sustainability, renewable energy, enterprise software, and medical research. His work focuses on converting information into strategy, and on crafting useful tools, apps, and visuals. 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
