+ | '''FCP:''' For our readers who may not be familiar with your name, please remind us of your current position. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''CC:''' I'm the founder and CEO of [[DaVinci Systems]]. Our campus is located here in [[Forrest City]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''FCP:''' And what does Davinci Systems do? | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''CC:''' We specialize in making communications and data safe from criminals and hackers. We develop encryption tools and methods that companies and governments can use to protect information. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''FCP:''' And you recently announced another project? | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''CC:''' Yes, we've hired some of the world's leading researchers in the field of artificial intelligence. They are part of a new department that will pursue the use of artificial intelligence in encryption and cryptography. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''FCP:''' There was an article circulating online recently claiming that the artificial intelligence project is really aimed at cracking the codes of foreign governments and that your biggest customers are the National Security Agency and the CIA. Any comment? | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''CC:''' [Smiling] You shouldn't believe everything you read online. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''FCP:''' Many people have described you as a true mathematics prodigy. Is that a fair characterization? | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''CC:''' I've always had a special ability when it comes to math. I'm generally able to see solutions to mathematical problems in unique ways that other people can't. I'm very visual when it comes to equations and constructs. I see mathematics in my mind in colors and shapes. It's not anything that I created — it's just how my brain works. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''FCP:''' You're being modest. Isn't it true that you graduated from MIT with doctorate degrees in both number theory and fluid dynamics at age fifteen? | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''CC:''' Fourteen. I turned fifteen two months later. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''FCP:''' And you published a breakthrough paper on abc theory? What is that exactly? | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''CC:''' It's difficult to describe in words. It has to do with integers and prime numbers, and letters that represent mathematical variables used in equations. My paper proposes what you might call a new language — a whole new universe of mathematical objects — in order to describe the known universe. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''FCP:''' Did your parents know that you were a math genius when you were still very young? | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''CC:''' My mom likes to tell a story about a time when I was four and she found me writing out a rail fence cipher with a blue crayon. So yeah, I guess it started pretty early on. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''FCP:''' What did you do after graduation? | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''CC:''' I took a year off and went back home to live with my parents. I continued my studies on my own and attended several conferences around the world to present my most well-known paper. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''FCP:''' And after that? | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''CC:''' I went to work for the National Security Agency. The NSA saw some unique applications for my work that I hadn't yet considered. They couldn't figure out the math, but they were pretty confident that I could. So I spent a few years at the NSA. I can't really talk about it, but it was very productive. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''FCP:''' And then you started DaVinci Systems. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''CC:''' Right. With the help of some advisors and investors, DaVinci Systems hit the group running. I've been very fortunate. It's an exciting place to work and we're doing some very cutting edge research. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''FCP:''' You don't look like the typical technology CEO. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''CC:''' [Laughing] Well, for starters, I'm female. That's not very common in our industry. But I'm guessing you mean the hair, the tattoos and the flannel shirts. This is who I am. I'm young. I'm a free spirit. I don't feel the need to conform. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''FCP:''' How did DaVinci Systems end up in Forrest City? | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''CC:''' From the beginning, we started doing some joint projects with [[Archon Genomics]]. It made sense to be in close proximity. And Forrest City is a very unique place. There's a lot going on here. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''FCP:''' Do you have a favorite tattoo? | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''CC:''' All of my tattoos are meaningful to me. Each one has a special significance or a hidden meaning. | ||

+ | [[Forrest City]] Neighborhoods | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''FORREST CITY''' was incorporated in 1835, but the land on which the city is located has been occupied since at least the 1600's. Forrest City has had a long history replete with remarkable adventures, dark tales, and mysterious events. Today, Forrest City is home to many different neighborhoods with distinct personalities that have evolved from its unique past. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''[[Downtown|DOWNTOWN]].''' The downtown district is home to most of the city's government buildings including the [[Forrest City Police Department]] headquarters, the [[Coroner's Office]], and the [[Forrest City FBI field office|F.B.I. field office]]. Also located downtown are [[Drake University]], [[Forrest City College]], and [[the Lancaster Museum]]. The district is home to several banks including [[American National Bank]] and Forrest City's oldest law film, [[Oglevie, Thorn & Sharpe]]. Other notable downtown businesses include [[Cecil's Cafe]], [[Bacchus Wine Bar]], [[Dante's Bookshop]] specializing in rare books and first editions, and [[Christopher's Curiosities]] which offers for sale a collection of rare and unique items. Two of Forrest City's historic houses are also located downtown: [[Lancaster Manor]] and [[Savage House]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''[[The Narrows|THE NARROWS]].''' Most of this economically impoverished neighborhood in [[Forrest City]] was built long before the invention of the automobile. The area is nicknamed the Narrows due to its narrow, winding streets. Much of the architecture of the Narrows is a throwback to the early days of the industrial revolution: grimy buildings, dark alleys, and crowded spaces. Notable places in the Narrows include the [[Crown Pub]], [[Sinner's Alley]], [[Five Points]], and [[Trinity Church]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''[[Silicon Alley|SILICON ALLEY]]''' is the nickname for the area to the north of the [[downtown]] district that serves as [[Forrest City]]'s growing high-tech hub and start-up ecosystem. Notable businesses include [[XO Capital]], the [[iBar]], and [[DaVinci Systems]]. [[Archon Genomics]] is the largest company in the area and is located on its own thirty acre campus on the north end of Silicon Alley. A team of researchers led by Dr. [[James Blusson]] at the Archon Genomics was the first group to sequence and map the entire human genome. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''[[The Harbor District|THE HARBOR DISTRICT]]''' began in the 1800's as a working port populated primarily by sailors and dockworkers. It is now a mix of condominiums, deteriorating buildings, and a variety of businesses catering to either end of the economic spectrum that exists in the area. Notable places in the Harbor District include the [[Blue Martini]], the [[Ericson Art Museum]], the [[Forrest City Science Center]], the [[Bull Theater]], and the historic [[Lancaster Hotel]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''[[Cavanaugh Key|CAVANAUGH KEY]]''' is home to some of [[Forrest City]]'s most expensive residential housing, public beaches, and a small commercial district that functions as the Key's unofficial downtown. Cavanaugh Key is accessible only by a single bridge from the [[downtown]] district. Notable places on Cavanaugh Key include the [[Casperson Hotel]], [[McKendrick Beach]], and the historic [[Thorn Lighthouse]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''[[The French Quarter|THE FRENCH QUARTER]].''' [[Forrest City]]'s French Quarter is a smaller version of its namesake neighborhood in [[New Orleans]]. In the late 1600's, a settlement of French trappers and traders was located in the area that would later become Forrest City. Many of the descendants of the original French settlers stayed in the area as the settlement became a small town. When ownership of the region was granted by treaty to [[England]], over half of the French residents remaine, and Forrest City grew up around them. Over time, the original French town became a neighborhood within Forrest City. Notable places in the French Quarter include [[Antoine's]], [[Olivia House]], [[Jacmel Inn]], [[Court of the Three Sisters]], and [[Royal Square]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''[[Chinatown|CHINATOWN]].''' For decades, [[Forrest City]]'s Chinatown district was a safe, desirable area. In recent years, however, [[Asian crime groups]] have taken control and Chinatown is now plagued by criminal activity. Forrest City residents and tourists generally avoid Chinatown except during heavily policed events such as the annual [[Dragon Boat Festival]]. Notable businesses in Chinatown include the [[Haidilao Hot Pot]] and the [[Hutong Jade Restaurant]]. | ||
