Anjana’s story is truly remarkable. After suffering financial hardship, Anjana’s parents moved her family to a village in rural India, away from their home in Kakinada. She had dreams of studying in the US. and eventually made them happen through talent and persistence. Anjana’s academic career has put her on the very cutting edge of AI research.
