//about the panelists
Sandeep Ahuja
Sandeep Ahuja, co-founder of cove.tool, brings her experience of working on over 200 high performance projects. Most recently, Sandeep presented at the UN environment assembly, with 1500 global delegates, on the impact of buildings on climate change, showcased at the Tedx Atlanta and won the Forbes 30 under 30 for developing cove.tool, the automated sustainability consultant.
With her desire to bring automation into the AEC world, she is pioneering the integration of data driven thinking into the design and construction process by developing intelligent software.
Nate Miller
Nate Miller is the founder and CEO of PROVING GROUND. Nate has worked with some of the most reputable organizations in the building industry to create strategies and software that connect builders with data to deliver performance. Nate’s work in data and computation has impacted the design and delivery of a wide range of built environments including stadiums, skyscrapers, hospitals, and museums.
Robert Otani
Rob Otani is widely regarded as one of the industry’s leading experts in automation and computational modeling. He established and oversees CORE studio, which focuses on applications development, advanced computational modeling and research and development.
