About Rob Hughes

Technology is what I love. We are so fortunate to live in an era where profound technological advancements are developed and announced seemingly nonstop. So much so, that we often take for granted the culmination of these technologies as they have been integrated into our daily lives and routines. My passion, then, is to try to get people as excited about technology as I am, breaking down and explaining the ins and outs of the amazing breakthroughs and advancements we use.My passion also lies with helping to push the envelope of what people think technology is capable of. When I was given the opportunity to help launch the Purdue operations of Starship Technologies, an autonomous food-delivery robot startup, I leaped at the chance. My face would light up as I was walking around campus mapping the robots and students, faculty, and visitors alike would stop me and ask about just how a robot could possibly drive itself around a massive campus. Five years prior, the idea seemed like science fiction. My team helped to make it a reality.Now that I\'ve graduated from Purdue University with my undergraduate degree in Computer Engineering, I\'m excited to connect with industry leaders and pioneers to help shape what the future of technology looks like. I\'d love to talk to you and connect about your vision of the evolution of technology and where it\'s headed.
