Episode Q20: Deep Prasad

Joining us for the 20th edition of our special Quarantine Series is tech entrepreneur, scientist, and researcher Deep Prasad in British Columbia, Canada.

He holds a Bachelor of Applied Science in Industrial Engineering from the University of Toronto where he was named Entrepreneurship Hatchery Fellow in 2014 and participated in the university’s startup accelerator program. He was a top-ten finalist in The Next Einstein competition for which he received the backing of a diverse panel of judges that included Nobel laureates, business and community leaders, and the NBA’s Amar’e Stoudemire.

Deep possesses a unique intersection of skills in machine learning and computer science, and quantum condensed matter physics. His research is in the fields of quantum computing and quantum adjacent technologies, and he spends time advocating for more transparency around the UAP topic, communicating the science and engineering of observed UAPs and trying to understand their underlying mechanics and nature.

He has given presentations on quantum computing around the world and presented a novel technique to search for extraterrestrial technosignatures using quantum computing at the European Astronomical Society Annual Meeting in 2020. He was also a participant in the world’s first quantum computing incubator, known as Creative Destruction Lab.

This year, Deep will be one of the New Faces at the annual Contact in the Desert conference which will be held online from June 25-28. His workshop, Exomimicry, Anthroexology & Locatiogenesis: Science of the Future, will be held on Saturday, June 26 from 9-10:30 AM PDT, and his lecture, Integrating with Technologically Advanced Alien Species: How Do We Initiate Sustained, Open Contact if They Arrive Here? will be presented on Sunday, June 27 from 1:15-2:45 PM PDT. Deep will also appear on the panel, Consciousness, AI & Communication with Non-Human Intelligence: NDE’s, OBE’s & the Quantum Field, on Sunday, June 27 from 4-6:15 PM PDT. Please visit the Contact in the Desert registration page to get your virtual passes, and I will “see” you there!
