Tanay Tandon is co-founder and CEO of Athelas, a biotechnology company based in Mountain View, CA. He began work in machine learning as a high schooler in Richard Socher’s Stanford AI lab team with research in image processing and natural language processing, eventually working with many groups within the lab. Before attending Stanford University, his paper on deep learning for malaria classification was selected as an Intel STS Finalist, and his work on ‘Clipped’ - a natural language processing engine for summarization using RNNs - was briefly one of the most-used mobile news readers in the world. Tandon is the youngest founder to ever be backed by Sequoia Capital, and is excited to be working with the whole Athelas team to bring lab-grade medical systems to consumers.
