Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCristiana Principato is a Senior Data Scientist with a PhD in Physics and seven years of experience translating rigorous statistical methods into production ML and LLM-driven systems, currently building large-scale modeling and decision systems at Meta. She has deep expertise in noisy, uncertain, and latent human-state problems from prior roles at COMPASS Pathways—where she developed predictive patient-outcome models and prompt-engineered LLM tools for psychedelic-assisted therapy—to industry work in time-series and sensor-driven applications. Comfortable across research and product settings, Cristiana combines physics-grade data processing at TB scale with pragmatic engineering practices (PyTest, ETL, MongoDB) to deliver models that are both scientifically robust and operationally aligned. A recovering physicist who once pushed NOvA dark-matter analyses to extreme signal-to-noise improvements, she brings a rare mix of domain-driven curiosity and hands-on productionization of ML systems.
