Aileen Nielsen

Since completing degrees in anthropology, law, and physics, Aileen has worked in corporate law, physics research laboratories, and, most recently, NYC startups oriented towards improving daily life for under-served populations - particularly groups who have yet to fully enjoy the benefits of mobile technology. She has interests ranging from defensive software engineering to UX designs for reducing cognitive load to the interplay between law and technology. In addition to engineering One Drop's diabetes-management products by day, Aileen serves as a member of the New York City Bar Association's Science and Law Committee, where she chairs a subcommittee devoted to exploring and advocating for scientifically-driven regulation - and deregulation - of new and existing technologies. Aileen recently spent a few months working on the Data Science team of Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign.
