Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMegan Shabram is a founder and board-level systems engineer with a PhD in Astronomy and over a decade of experience applying quantitative, data-driven approaches to deep tech, mission-aligned innovation, and advanced manufacturing. She has bridged academia, NASA postdoctoral research, YC-backed agtech, and large telescope systems engineering—designing Bayesian and hierarchical models for exoplanet science, scaling satellite-based crop-forecasting ML systems, and inventing the Integrated Model Uncertainty Factor for telescope design. Megan combines technical rigor in statistical modeling, cloud HPC, and generative AI integration with a rare focus on psychological safety and collective ideation to unlock higher-performing interdisciplinary teams. She excels at translating complex simulations and telemetry into cost- and performance-optimized engineering decisions and has a track record of leading international, cross-institutional teams to operationalize novel AI/ML workflows. Based in Albany, CA, she advises at the board level on risk mitigation and innovation governance while building WOVEN to institutionalize human-centered, anticipatory science practices.
