Description

What does it take to go from a creative spirit who dislikes math to a rocket scientist at the helm of a cutting-edge tech company? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I delve into the inspiring journey of Masha Petrova, CEO of Nullspace and a beacon of innovation in the aerospace engineering field. Masha's path to becoming a leading figure in the world of engineering simulation and RF technology is as unconventional as it is fascinating. Join me as I explore the crucial role of engineering simulation in propelling our technology into the future. Masha sheds light on how Nullspace is revolutionizing the RF simulation space, offering solutions that are more than 25 times faster than existing products.  This breakthrough capability is not just about speed; it's about enabling rapid innovation in a world increasingly reliant on radiofrequency technology—from agriculture to space exploration. Masha's story is a testament to breaking barriers and challenging stereotypes within the traditionally introverted domain of engineering. Her journey from a creative who hated math to a rocket scientist underscores the importance of perseverance, passion, and pushing beyond one's comfort zone. We'll discuss how her extroverted nature and unique perspective have shaped her career and how Nullspace stands out among deep tech companies for its innovative approach and commitment to diversity. This episode also delves into the growing demand for radiofrequency technology and its ubiquity in our daily lives, from the devices we use to the cars we drive. Masha will share her insights on the explosion of acquisitions in the engineering simulation software space and what this means for the future of technology development. How can aspiring engineers and creatives draw inspiration from Masha's journey to overcome their own challenges and make their mark in the tech world? Tune in to this captivating conversation on Tech Talks Daily, and let's discover together the power of innovation, diversity, and determination in shaping our technological landscape.
