Senior🎓
Top SchoolLaura Mariano is a Lead Ethical AI Data Scientist in Somerville, MA with 16 years of experience building production-grade AI and signal-processing systems for both commercial and mission-critical defense environments. She combines hands-on engineering—delivering Python-based computer vision and RF-driven weather models—with program leadership, having managed cross-functional teams using Agile practices. Her work at MORSE and Draper includes developing governance, bias-measurement policies, and test-and-evaluation frameworks for ethical AI deployed with the DoD, reflecting a rare blend of technical rigor and policy-aware engineering. At ClimaCell she translated novel sensor modalities into operational precipitation estimation algorithms, showing a knack for turning unconventional data sources into reliable models. She holds a dual background in electrical engineering and mathematics, and is known for applying bio-signal and behavioral modeling techniques to diverse problems, from EEG biomarker discovery to human–machine interaction analysis. Practical, research-minded, and governance-focused, she bridges the gap between cutting-edge algorithm development and accountable, auditable AI systems.
