Biography

Deborah Berebichez is the first Mexican woman to obtain a Ph.D. in Physics from Stanford University where she worked with two Nobel Prize Laureates: Bob Laughlin who discovered the fractional quantum Hall effect and Steve Chu who cooled atoms with laser light. Dr. Deborah co-hosts Discovery Channel’s Outrageous Acts of Science TV show, where she uses her knowledge of physics to explain the science behind extraordinary engineering feats. She also appears as an expert on the Travel Channel, the History Channel, PBS NOVA, CNN, FOX, MSNBC and numerous international media outlets.

Currently, Dr. Deborah Berebichez is a leading authority on Artificial Intelligence and its commercial applications. As the founder and CEO of ‘Solve For You’, she oversees a technical team that leverages data and AI to drive success in the digital era, bringing more than 25 AI-based products to market. Experienced in roles such as Chief Quantum Computing Scientist and Chief Data Scientist, Deborah’s expertise has earned her global recognition and several awards.

She is an internationally sought-after public speaker, delivering hundreds of corporate keynote presentations and workshops all over the world. She has delivered keynote talks to audiences of 20 to 18,000 people including at IBM, YPO, Grace Hopper Celebration (largest conference for women in tech worldwide), Morgan Stanley, Merck, Boehringer Ingelheim, General Motors and Allstate. She also serves as an ambassador for the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). Her work inspiring young women in STEM earned her a life-size statue of her that is on display at the MIT Museum.

“I finally saw your Nova performance about the crystals on TV. I was so impressed. You made something dull and boring come alive! This ability is a key talent essential for making the world turn, as I myself have found out that hard way. You've got this talent in abundance. Also, your TV personality is exactly the same as your real one, which is very neat.” Robert Betts Laughlin, 1998 Nobel Prize in physics
“Charismatic, engaging, thoughtful, inspiring, heartfelt and smart! These words describe only a fraction of the pure enthusiasm and positive energy that Dr. Berebichez possesses and elicits in others. She connected so favorably with our Project FibonacciÒ STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) scholars and staff when it came to telling her personal stories of overcoming barriers to women in STEM professions and her life pursuits. I look forward to having her back again and inspiring our future classes of STEAM scholars entering the workforce. An A++ experience!” Andrew Drozd, President, The Fibonacci Foundation
“She is an extraordinarily warm and approachable person, a wonderful ambassador for science and reason." Becky Strickland, PhACT
“Debbie, the girls loooooved you! What an inspiration for girls with a STEM interest. Thank you, thank you!! Let's definitely make this an annual event!” Ann Dachs, Director, Pre-College Programs, and Senior Admissions Officer at Barnard College
