Senior🎓
Top SchoolJudith Degen is a data scientist and former Stanford assistant professor with over a decade of experience translating cognitive science and linguistic theory into computational models, large-scale experiments, and publishable insights. She founded and led a 10–15 person research lab that produced 50+ papers and 80+ talks, secured over $800K in funding, and trained dozens of graduate and undergraduate mentees. Comfortable with probabilistic modeling, NLP frameworks, and experimental design, she bridges rigorous academic research and practical data-driven storytelling for stakeholders. Now at Prescient AI and based in the Greek islands, she’s eager to apply her expertise to green tech and sustainability—bringing both deep domain knowledge and a track record of turning complex language datasets into actionable findings. An often-overlooked strength is her curriculum-building and teaching experience, which amplifies team capability as well as research impact.
