Sabrina Pasterski isn’t your average physicist. By the age of 14, she had already built an airplane engine. Just two years later, she made history by becoming the youngest person to ever fly a plane she had built entirely on her own.
Now holding a Ph.D. in physics, Sabrina is conducting groundbreaking research on black holes and the mysteries of space-time. After earning her doctorate from Harvard, she dove deep into some of the most complex questions in modern physics—work that has led many to refer to her as a potential “new Einstein.”

Born in Chicago to an American father and Cuban mother, Sabrina attended a school for gifted students and later graduated from MIT at the top of her class—the first woman in two decades to do so in physics.

Her work has caught the attention of major figures. The late Stephen Hawking cited her research in a 2016 paper. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos once wore a shirt with her image and invited her to join his aerospace company, Blue Origin, even offering her complete freedom to choose her role. NASA also extended a similar invitation.

But Sabrina declined both. She chose to prioritize her academic journey over prestige, proving that for her, science isn’t about fame—it’s about purpose.
