This Engineer Will Freeze Himself For Centuries

From building self-assembling robots for satellite repair to working on the future of human preservation with cryogenics, you’ll love our conversation with 1517 Fund Grantee Kyrylo Kalashnikov ⏰ Timestamps (00:00) - Engineering roots in Ukraine's coal country (10:23) - Finding your place in a new culture (21:44) - From coding fears to robotics wins (32:28) - Building micro-robots for space (37:36) - The power of dedicated thinking time (42:07) - How to discover your true interests (45:05) - Landing roles at ambitious companies (52:04) - The science of human preservation (1:03:18) - Breaking ground in cryonics technology Born in a Ukrainian mining city to a family of engineers, Kyrylo's journey started when his father made him learn to code—not as a hobby, but because it was just as fundamental as learning to read to them. After moving to Canada at 13, he turned that technical foundation into a series of ambitious projects: from leading robotics competitions to developing self-assembling micro-robots for satellite repair. Now, he's working on technology to preserve human tissue for centuries. Together, we explore his journey—from navigating a new country to tackling some of the biggest challenges in science. He shares powerful insights for young builders: why putting all your eggs in one basket sometimes pays off, how to turn being "the outsider" into your advantage, and why the best opportunities often come from asking "what would make me proud?" rather than "what's practical?" His story shows that early technical skills, combined with the courage to think bigger, can open doors you never knew existed. Enjoy the conversation.
