Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlice Albrecht is a founder and research-driven AI practitioner who blends a PhD in cognitive neuroscience with 11 years of product and R&D leadership to build memory-augmented, agentic systems that mirror human associative cognition. She founded re:collect in 2021 to pioneer retrieval-augmented, agent-driven knowledge tools—later acquired by SmartNews, where she launched and led their AI R&D lab. Alice now runs NeuralCypher Labs, conducting independent research on dual-memory architectures for reinforcement learning while advising early-stage teams on applying cognitive-science principles to complex decision-making. Her work sits at the intersection of world models, sociotechnical evaluation, and practical ML systems, and she has a track record of turning cognitive theory into production-ready prototypes. A less obvious strength is her ability to translate neuroscience insights about episodic and semantic memory into concrete engineering patterns for context-aware knowledge workspaces.
