Who is Paul Misener?

-

Paul Misener graduated from Princeton University after studying electrical engineerin­g and computer science.

“I… went to college to be an astrophysi­cist, so I chose Princeton because that was the place [where] Einstein ended up when he came to America,” he said. “It turned out that I wanted something slightly more social when I got to college and that meant electrical engineerin­g and computer science. For me, that was more social,” he joked.

Misener said he has always loved technology and seen opportunit­ies to build bridges between policymaki­ng and technology, engineerin­g, and science. “I always wanted to fit into the niche so I went to law school at night and the whole idea was to get myself in a position where I can [move between] the two worlds,” he said.
