Defining Success: Lessons from Hursh Juneja's Career in Technology
By: Sunnie Dawn Baker
Hursh Juneja started watching Star Trek in her youth; it is what drew her already inquisitive mind to learn more about science and technology. She had always been curious about how the world worked--why are things happening and how are they happening? While the stories were fun, and the science-fiction technology was interesting, what appealed to her most about Star Trek was the idea that knowledge can be used to empower and impact not just our own planet, but the whole universe. She wanted to do something to make her contribution. This eventually led her to undertake graduate studies in computer science. Computer science influences every aspect of our lives today, even more profoundly than when Juneja was a young girl watching Star Trek in her living room.
