BIOSIGNAL PROCESSING LABORATORY (BPL)

Other: Priya founded two additional companies: Regent Hill Financial and King of Spades Oil and Gas. She served as Vice Chair of the Town of Warren's Finance Committee from October 16, 2025 to March 20th, 2026. She is also a recipient of the Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey & Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll Award for scientific innovation, and received Special Congressional Recognition twice, first at age 18 from Representative Jim Langevin on the recommendation of her school, and again at age 24 from Senator Elizabeth Warren on the recommendation of a former professor at UMass Amherst. 

She previously worked as an RF/Microwave Engineer at Raytheon Intelligence and Space and at a National Endowment for the Arts laboratory, where she led the design and development of a system of ECGs that translate heart rate signals into music for large-scale dance performances. 

She achieved all of this while overcoming severe adversity, including poverty and periods of near-homelessness, a serious illness that required two months of cardiac hospitalization, and a coordinated campaign by a stalker to harm her family, isolate her, derail her future, and eventually force her into marriage, as later described by the perpetrator's former associate. The deep-rooted anger from more than just these events and from observing the ways of the world drives her almost inhuman strength and relentless ambition to fix broken systems.
