Sydney Schreppler

Sydney is an experimental physicist and Director of Data at Savor, a climate tech startup working to build a more sustainable and resilient global food system by designing fats and oils from the molecular level upward. Sydney’s interest in how microscopic phenomena shape the world at human scale has led her from research in quantum sensing and computing to harnessing molecular interactions for climate resilience. She earned her PhD in physics from UC Berkeley, with a focus on quantum measurement in atomic, molecular, and optical systems. She continued experimental research in quantum measurement and computing across multiple physical platforms — trapped atoms, superconducting circuits, and topological materials — in both academia and industry. At Savor, she has turned this scientific foundation, with its emphasis on the building blocks of matter and the physics of scale, toward the pressing challenge of sustaining ourselves and our planet in a changing climate.
