FLN has named Thananthan Sozhane, Graduate Student Researcher at Kettering University, as the network's newest spotlight member! 🌟 If Thananthan can go to lunch with one industry leader, living or dead, it would be Steve Jobs for his ability to blend technology, design and user-centric thinking decades ahead of its time. "As someone pursuing a Tech MBA and building a career in ADAS and autonomous mobility, I deeply admire how he redefined consumer experience by turning complex technology into intuitive, emotional products. "I would love to understand how he maintained relentless focus on product vision, how he handled resistance to innovation and how he scaled disruptive ideas without compromising on elegance or simplicity. In the ADAS domain, where technology must seamlessly integrate into human lives, his philosophy of “making it just work” resonates strongly. A conversation with him would inspire me to bring similar clarity and purpose into shaping the future of intelligent mobility." The best advice that Thananthan has received is to follow what you'll do for free and make it your passion.
