If you are vexed by daily inefficiencies 鈥� how a coffee shop serves its customers, how a bank sorts its callers with automated phone menus 鈥� then you have some understanding of Sharareh Taghipour鈥檚 mission. Taghipour dreams of a zero-failure world in which we have the right information, analytical skills, methodology and technology to predict and prevent inefficiencies and breakdowns. 鈥淭his is evidently not achievable,鈥� she says, laughing. 鈥淏ut it鈥檚 how I think. It鈥檚 an ideal to move toward.鈥�
Taghipour鈥檚 superpower is mathematical modelling, which she applies in areas like manufacturing (to forecast equipment failure) and health care (to predict the incidence of disease). Looking forward, Taghipour is most excited about the use of autonomous prediction to optimize processes. 鈥淚 know we can鈥檛 eliminate failure, but when systems can make smart decisions in real time, the result will be better quality of life.鈥�

鈥淧ure math is a beautiful thing on its own, but it鈥檚 even better when it鈥檚 applied to improve our lives.鈥�
