VP Communications and Engagement
Kanishkkumar is an international student, in his first year of Computer Science with a minor in Entrepreneurship. He is extremely enthusiastic and passionate about Artificial Intelligence and its applications in various fields. In his free time, he either likes to do adventurous activities or simply just have a walk in the nature. You can contact him to know more about CAIS while having a short hike in/near Ottawa.
Samaia
Social Media Coordinator
Samaia is a third year cognitive science student with a concentration in cognition and psychology and a minor in business. When Samaia isn’t eating ice cream or making sure her dog isn’t stealing her socks, she’s usually getting outside or reading a good book. In the future, Samaia dreams of moving far away to somewhere Winter doesn’t exist and starting a career in UX/UI design.
Brian
