Summary
Bonnie Cooper is an NLP Scientist II with nine years of experience who blends a deep background in vision science and neuroscience with practical machine learning and data science expertise. Currently building scalable, autonomous medical coding solutions for pathology at CodaMetrix, she specializes in NLP and generative AI for healthcare. Her research-driven approach stems from a PhD in Vision Science and a postdoc focused on eye-tracking, attention, and neural physiology, which informs rigorous experimental design and quantitative modeling. She also holds an MS in Data Science and has led NLP product work, including social listening SaaS and serverless AWS efforts. Known for being an adept problem-solver who can “Google” the right needle in a haystack, she pairs academic rigor with product-focused delivery. Outside work she reads as much science fiction as science fact and is an avid home brewer, reflecting a curiosity-driven, hands-on mindset.
