Summary
Julianna Schneider is an AI research engineer and MIT freshman specializing in Artificial Intelligence & Decision-Making with six years of hands-on experience across robotics, autonomous systems, and ML-driven locomotion. She balances academic research at MIT’s Biomimetic Robotics Lab with industry work at Dryft and two NeMo MLOps internships at NVIDIA, bringing both production-oriented LLM tooling and legged-robotics expertise. A decorated STEM leader—U.S. Presidential Scholar, National Merit Scholar, and inaugural AIAA Lockheed Marilyn Hewson winner—she also founded VoluntYOU, a 501(c)(3) digital volunteering platform connecting 500+ users and demonstrating early product and full-stack iOS development chops. Julianna’s background uniquely blends team leadership in FIRST competitions and international mentoring with published NASA/AGU research, signaling rare experience translating student-led projects into peer-reviewed work. Long-term she aims to design novel AI architectures for autonomous navigation, coupling rigorous research with practical deployment experience.
