35 years of NYSF – 1998 - Dr David Snowden
“It sounds like an overstatement, but the NYSF was one of the truly formative experiences of my life. The two weeks in Canberra during 1998’s Session A were a critical step. Most of my best and lasting relationships stem from my time at NYSF, the people I met through it, or the confidence I gained as a result of meeting a load of truly like-minded people. Most importantly, I learned that being a nerd was a good thing. Some might think of science as a pursuit of the anti-social, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Being a leader and being a scientist or engineer are one and the same thing.”
Dr. David Snowden has gone on to become a leader in his field. With a PhD in Computer Engineering, earned at the University of New South Wales, David’s work optimising financial systems has taken him all around the world. He has also started a successful business, Metamako, a technology company that specialises in solutions for latency sensitive businesses. And in his spare time, he is also a member of the technical faculty of the World Solar Challenge.
