Featured Episode: Ellen Zegura

On this episode, host Tanmay Shah chats with  Dr. Ellen Zegura. She is a Regents Professor in the School of Computer Science at Georgia Tech, a Fellow of both the ACM and IEEE, and the recipient of Georgia Tech's highest faculty honor — the Class of 1934 Distinguished Professor Award. Over a 30-year career, she has shaped the internet's foundational architecture through topology modeling and Software-Defined Networking, pushed the limits of connectivity in disconnected corners of the world, and built an entirely new discipline around computing for social good. In this episode, you'll hear about her remarkable career arc, the hard lessons of doing technology work in the real world, and what it actually takes to make computing matter beyond the lab.
