Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Dr. V. A. Shiva Ayyadurai, the inventor of email and polymath, holds four degrees from MIT and is a world-renowned systems scientist. He is a Fulbright Scholar, Lemelson-MIT Awards Finalist, First Outstanding Scientist and Technologist of Indian Origin (STIO), Westinghouse National Science Talent Honors Award recipient, and U.S. National Medal of Technology and Innovation nominee. As a child, he was inspired by his grandmother’s practicing Siddha, India’s oldest system of traditional medicine, which led him to a major breakthrough: Systems Health, an integrative framework linking eastern and western medicine. His most recent invention, CytoSolve® is a technology that enables rapid discovery of multi-combination therapeutics without animal testing. In 1978, as a precocious 14-year-old, he was accepted to a special program in computer science at New York University. Later, at the University of Medicine and Dentistry, New Jersey (UMDNJ) as a Research Fellow, he developed the first electronic system to replicate the entire interoffice mail system (Inbox, Outbox, Folders, Address Book, Memo, etc.), which he named “email,” defining email we all use and experience today. In 1982, the United States government officially recognized him as the inventor of email by awarding the first U.S. Copyright for “Email,” when copyright was the only protection for software inventions.
