Did you know Dr. Prineha Narang, a UCLA professor, never planned to be an entrepreneur? But when her students asked if quantum networking was ready for commercialization, she took the leap! Today, as the founder and CTO of Aliro, she’s leading the charge in advanced secure networks using quantum networking. 💬 “I frequently go into meetings with investors and I have to remind them that I am not a graduate student or post-doc. I am not an associate or assistant professor. I am a senior faculty member at a major university, and the technology we are talking about is coming out of my research group—NarangLab.” Saqib Jalil shares more about Dr. Narang's journey and how Aliro is revolutionizing secure networking with quantum technology with the support of Cisco’s Aspire Fund. 👇 🔗 https://bit.ly/4dyEKe3 #AspireFund
