Krish Nachnani
Rising High School Senior, The Harker School
Krish Nachnani, a high-achieving high school junior going into his senior year, has been awarded Acclinate’s undergraduate scholarship for his academic excellence and innovative thinking. With an outstanding GPA and a video submission that was not only informative but engaging—complete with images, data, and even a little music—Krish impressed us with his curiosity and ability to connect ideas. We’re eager to see how Krish will bring his creativity and analytical skills to health equity in the future.
“When I visited Kenya, I saw firsthand how limited access to medical care can shape someone’s future. That experience motivated me to develop an AI-powered glaucoma screening tool that’s lightweight and accurate, so that it can be more easily implemented in low-resource settings. My goal is to bring this tool back to communities like the ones I visited.”
