Materials Engineer. IP Regulator. Chef.#

An engineer by trade, when Hrishi commenced the 3Ai Masters he already held a Master of Science in Material Science & Engineering and was a published author in the field. He came with 13 years of professional experience across the public and private sector, and most recently prior to 3Ai he was a senior leader IP Australia. Helping shape IP Australia’s strategic direction to include AI and guided decision making as part of the agency’s future ignited Hrishi’s passions. Would you believe Hrishi was also our resident MasterChef. Literally! He featured in the reality television program in 2013. As a student at 3Ai, Hrishi joined our Director Genevieve Bell and Deputy Director Alex Zafiroglu on a fieldtrip to a mine site 4,500km from the ANU as part of his final project. Hrishi is looking for opportunities to use his qualifications and leadership experience to lead and advice development and implementation of emerging technologies such as AI.
