Science & Research Coaches, Events, and Resources

Welcome to my profile! With a strong foundation in research and data analysis, I have honed my skills through diverse experiences at Columbia University and Brigham Young University–Hawaii. As a Research Manager at the Columbia AI Alignment Club, I lead AI safety research projects and mentor undergraduate fellows, while my role as a UX Researcher and Data Scientist involved presenting strategic insights to university leadership. My work has spanned from conducting ethnographic fieldwork to managing complex research projects, such as my collaboration with Columbia Business School on technology adoption in sports. Whether you're looking to refine your research skills or navigate the complexities of academic projects, I'm here to guide you. Let's connect and explore how I can support your journey in science and research!

Harvard PhD graduate who started out as a research technician, experienced in screening and interviewing lab tech candidates.

Many teams have strong technical ideas but lack a clear starting point for funding. For more than a decade, I have mapped technologies to specific funding mechanisms and supported the award of millions of dollars in R&D funding. I have secured non-dilutive funding for teams across energy, environmental systems, AI, defense, and advanced manufacturing by identifying, qualifying, and prioritizing viable opportunities, grounded in detailed knowledge of the funding landscape and in targeted recommendations on which avenues merit pursuit. With PhD experience in Systems Engineering, I have advised startups through IPOs, and Fortune 500 clients on where and how to secure non-dilutive and strategic R&D funding. I provide a combination of technical evaluation, program fit assessment, and capital strategy, with a track record of guiding technologies toward funding paths that support adoption. I'm here to help you transition your research from paper to product!

Welcome to my profile! With a Bachelor and Master's degree in Chemistry from the University of Chicago and extensive research experience, I am well-equipped to guide you through the complexities of chemistry studies and career paths. My background includes working as a Research Associate at RAPT Therapeutics, where I contributed to the development of Phase II drugs; as a Business Analyst at XOMA, where I analyzed competitive landscapes for therapeutic areas; a synthetic chemistry researcher at a CRO, and as a researcher at various academic institutions (Stanford, KAIST, UChicago). Currently, I work as a Director of Strategy & Operations in the Technical & Development Science team of a mid-cap biotech company. I have built my career in chemistry and pharmaceuticals research and the life sciences and am qualified to advise on all aspects of the biopharma industry. Whether you're looking to excel in your chemistry coursework or navigate a career in the life sciences, I'm here to help you achieve your goals.

Welcome to my profile! With a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and extensive postdoctoral research experience at the University of Pennsylvania, I bring a wealth of knowledge in psychology and neuroscience to my coaching. My work spans from neural tissue engineering to human cognitive neuroscience, where I've mentored undergraduate and graduate trainees, helping them navigate complex research projects and develop their scientific acumen. I have successfully coached over five individuals in this domain, guiding them through the intricacies of research design and data analysis, as well as scientific presentation and publication, depending on their needs. Whether you're looking to refine your research skills or need guidance on your academic journey, I'm here to help you achieve your goals. Let's connect and explore how I can support your success in the science and research field! Please note: I will not do disallowed work towards degree requirements for you, so please do not ask.

With over 15 years of leading product development and innovation teams across global B2B and B2C food companies, I’ve built organizations that deliver—from early‑stage concepting through commercialization and technical selling. My experience spans managing multimillion‑dollar innovation portfolios, guiding cross‑functional teams, and partnering with major CPG, retail, and foodservice brands to launch high‑impact products at scale. I’m also a people‑first technical leader who has coached and developed 50+ scientists and managers throughout my career. Whether transforming low‑engagement teams, building new R&D capabilities, or implementing systems like Stage Gate and technical transfer frameworks, I focus on elevating both performance and culture. I help R&D professionals grow into confident, strategic leaders who can influence, innovate, and execute in complex environments.
