Student Fellow

Paarth Krishnatrey

Hello, I’m Paarth, a sophomore at Northeastern University studying Business Administration and Cybersecurity with a concentration in Management Information Systems. I’m currently on co-op at Harvard Kennedy School as an IT Analyst and Developer. On the project side, I led a cross-functional team building a cybersecurity demonstration focused on secure 5G integration of legacy medical IoT devices on a hospital campus. I’m also part of VICEROY, a DoD-aligned program where I complete specialized cybersecurity coursework, compete in hackathons, develop projects, and work toward certifications. Outside of work, I enjoy swimming, watching sports, and trying new restaurants.

I got involved with VET-AIG because people who've served have a perspective on AI and national security that you can't get anywhere else, and right now that experience isn't making it into the rooms where these decisions get made. I'm not a veteran but I'm going into the Defense Industrial Base and I want to help close that gap. More structured pathways, more seats at the table, so military experience doesn't stop at service.
