NECTAR Fellowship
Our fellowship program brings together exceptional talent to accelerate the alternative protein transition using NECTAR’s research and novel datasets
Anna Thomas is a computer science PhD student at Stanford, focusing on machine learning, causal inference, and their applications. Previously, she received her undergraduate degree in mathematics from Stanford, with a minor in computer science, and master's degree in statistics from the University of Cambridge. Anna is joining NECTAR this summer to explore how recent advances in artificial intelligence, combined with NECTAR's data, could be applied to accelerate a transition to a more humane and sustainable food system.
