Clara Meister is a postdoctoral researcher and continuing studies lecturer based in Zurich with nine years of experience bridging cutting-edge computer science research and practical AI/data education. After completing a PhD at ETH Zurich under Ryan Cotterell and Thomas Hofmann, she now holds roles at EPFL and ETH where she develops continuing studies programs in AI and data technologies while advancing research. Her background includes systems research, applied ML for scientific imaging at SLAC, and hands-on engineering internships across industry, giving her fluency in both experimental and production codebases. Clara’s work uniquely blends rigorous academic mentorship with curriculum design, making complex machine learning concepts accessible to professionals. Colleagues describe her wry resilience—summed up by her cheeky “Switzerland can't kick me out yet” line—which mirrors a pragmatic, persistent approach to long-term research and teaching.
