<span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif;">Aleksandar Antonov is a University Innovation Fellow In-Training, beginning his journey with the program with the Fall 2015 cohort. He is a third-year (junior) computer student at [[Bucknell University|Bucknell University]] majoring in Computer Science. Born in Bulgaria the son of two engineers, and having moved to the United States at an early age, he has for most of his life had a vested interest in exploring innovation in the context of a community of learners, leaders, and of course, innovators. Inherent to his vision of innovation is the concept of a Family of Innovators, a term gathering his belief that genuine innovation must be communal and collaborative in order to be effective and relevant, creating ripples of change. Deeply curious and passionate in engaging with the world honestly, he has since his arrival at college collaborated with humanitarian engineers and scientific humanitarians in a variety of ways to develop unique and relevant means by which to learn from and improve his community. It is in the synthesis between different minds that he has seen the most far-reaching and impactful innovation among his peers. Innovation cannot take flame in a vacuum, it must be in it’s onset comprised of, reflective, and representative of the communities that it seeks to reach. For example, a program to educate and empower underprivileged youth in the field of computer science cannot take hold unless painted with a brush that shares qualities with their own lived experience.&nbsp;</span></span>
