      Well, I would like to discover a new way of computer – one that can do much more computations than now. Something like the quantum computer or the photon computer.

      I think I mentioned this in a previous answer somewhere, but really big discoveries tend to come about as a result of loads of people working together to find a solution.

      I would love to be involved in a discovery which makes life better for people. You mentioned cancer research in your question, for example. I am not a medical doctor, so I can’t do that kind of research. But work that I have done in the past involved automating the identification of cancer using computer vision. This helps doctors to do their research faster, and hopefully better. I would love if some of the work I had done helped to bring about a breakthrough in research such as this.
