Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRachel Lecover is a Senior Research Scientist with a decade of experience applying computational biology, systems modeling, and PBPK techniques to real-world defense and naval problems. She earned a PhD in Chemical Engineering from Cornell, where her thesis developed kinetic models of coagulation, fibrinolysis, and complement systems and embedded them into state-aware PBPK frameworks while advancing parameter estimation methods. At CNA Corporation she has transitioned those quantitative skills into advisory and field representative roles for fleet commands and now leads research efforts addressing operational challenges for the Navy. Her background spans high-performance computing, parallelized scientific code, and translational modeling from molecular processes to human performance—skills she honed in internships at Los Alamos, JPL, and the Air Force Research Laboratory. Colleagues rely on her ability to bridge rigorous academic modeling with actionable, policy-relevant analysis in complex, data-scarce settings.
