About Sarah Constantin

Who’s Sarah?

Well, I’ve done a bunch of different stuff, mostly in the machine-learning/AI part of the tech world:

Math PhD (applied harmonic analysis, old-school machine learning methods)

data science at Palantir (boy do I have stories)

machine learning for drug discovery

ML video analysis for self-driving trucks

founded a (now defunct) longevity research nonprofit and found out that ground-up pineal glands don’t make mice live longer, sorry Soviet-era mad scientists

worked at Nanotronics, where we built AI-controlled factories for every manufacturing industry.

I also like to write. You might know me from elsewhere on the internet:

my old blog #2, Otium

I’ve occasionally published in “real” magazines: here’s a piece about the (crazy inspiring) history of chemotherapy and here’s one about the end of Moore’s Law.
