SUMMARY:Outside Event: The Data Mine Guest Speaker Series - Meltem Ballan\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Join us for The Data Mine Guest Speaker Series: Meltem Ballan\, PhD \nSpace is limited\, so please RSVP via this link: https://calendly.com/datamine/the-data-mine-speaker-series-meltem-ballan \nLOCATION: WTHR 172 \n\n\n\n\n\nMeltem Ballan\, PhD\nFounder & CEO | Systems Thinker | Deep Tech Entrepreneur \nDr. Meltem Ballan is a deep-tech founder and thought leader at the intersection of high-performance computing\, artificial intelligence\, and sustainable infrastructure. As CEO and Co-Founder of Concrete Engine Inc.\, she is building modular “AI factories” — GPU-dense\, containerized micro-supercomputers — that bring sovereign AI and high-performance compute to the edge for industries ranging from defense and agriculture to pharma and climate tech. \nWith a career spanning General Motors\, EY\, and NATO\, Meltem has seen firsthand how data bottlenecks and computational hurdles slow down innovation. She launched Concrete Engine to remove those barriers\, combining cutting-edge federated learning orchestration with scalable hardware that can be deployed “one container at a time.” \nMeltem is widely recognized for her systems thinking approach\, bridging technical expertise with strategic partnerships. Her work has drawn interest from the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU)\, global energy and data-center operators\, and leading research institutions. She is passionate about dual-use AI\, ensuring that the same technology that powers defense resilience can also accelerate discoveries in healthcare\, agriculture\, and sustainability. \nOutside of technology\, Meltem is a marathon runner with nearly four decades of experience\, drawing parallels between the endurance required in long-distance running and building transformative companies. She is also an animal rescuer\, weaving compassion and community into her leadership philosophy. \nMeltem’s mission is simple but bold: to demystify AI\, decentralize compute\, and empower organizations worldwide with the tools to innovate responsibly and at scale. \n
