Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSarah Schwettmann is a research scientist and entrepreneur combining nine years of interdisciplinary experience in neuroscience, cognitive science, and multimodal AI. As co-founder of Transluce and a researcher at MIT CSAIL (formerly a postdoc there), she focuses on interpretable, generalizable representations that bridge biological and artificial vision. Her work has roots in rigorous PhD training at MIT and dual bachelor's degrees in computational math and cognitive science from Rice, giving her a rare blend of theoretical and applied expertise. She also runs projects at the intersection of privacy and online discourse at Harvard’s Berkman Klein Center, where she built tools for pseudonymous interaction. Comfortable both in the lab and in startup settings, she translates deep research into usable systems and product directions.
