Newsha Ghaeli is a Research Associate at MIT and Co-founder of Biobot Analytics, a company that helps cities assess the opioid epidemic locally and evaluate the efficacy of programmatic response by measuring opioid concentrations in sewage.

Biobot is a spin-off of a research collaboration between the MIT Senseable City Lab & Alm Lab, where Ghaeli and her team developed methods to extract population health indicators from wastewater.

An architect by training, Ghaeli has collaborated on work with the United Nations Climate Change Summit, the U.S. Department of Energy, and the World Economic Forum’s Council on the Future of Cities.

Currently, Ghaeli is the curator of the WEF Global Shapers Boston Hub: a group of individuals under the age of 30 dedicated to promoting social change in their communities.
