Sabine Hauert

Sabine Hauert is an HFSP cross-disciplinary fellow at MIT in the laboratory of Sangeeta Bhatia where she aims to design swarming nanoparticles for the treamtent of cancer. As a swarm engineer, she is interested in designing large collective systems that self-organize towards real-world applications. Swarm strategies are either inspired from nature (ant colonies and bird flocks) or are automatically designed in simulation using machine learning and crowdsourcing. Before working in bio-engineering, she completed a M.Sc. in Computer Science and a Ph.D. at EPFL in Switzerland where she worked on controlling swarms of flying robots. Passionate about science communication, Sabine co-founded a non-profit association best know for its blogs and podcasts.
