Hi, I'm Stephan Risi.

I'm a historian of science by training, but a software engineer by trade.

I finished my PhD at Stanford in 2019, where I did a lot of work on natural language processing for millions of legal documents and on medical literature recommendation. I then completed a postdoc at MIT in the Digital Humanities Lab.

I'm originally from Switzerland but have since traded the Alps for the hills of Massachusetts, where I hike often with my beloved dog Laika.
