Jennifer Copic, M.S.E.
Mrs. Jennifer Copic completed a B.S. in Chemical Eng. from the University of Louisville in 2009 and a M.S.E. in Industrial and Operations Eng. from the University of Michigan in 2011. During her education, Jennifer interned at Sandia National Labs researching applications for MEMS devices and reducing process waste with Lean/Six Sigma methodologies and at General Electric Transportation improving the quality of the Freight Diesel Locomotive engine assembly line. After graduate school, Jennifer worked as a Systems Engineer for General Mills where she led numerous process/product improvement projects. She then joined the Cambridge Centre for Risk Studies (CCRS) in 2014 where her research focused on cyber security risks. In 2021, Jennifer helped spin-out a startup that focused on commercializing the research from CCRS for corporate decision making using a python technology stack. Education
