Career
Hogan holds dual Master of Science degrees in Materials Science from Stanford University. Early in her career, she worked as a research assistant at both the Stanford University School of Engineering and the Stanford University School of Medicine, where she contributed to materials science research and health application development.
In 2019, Hogan worked as a data analyst consultant at Lark Health, focusing on health data analysis and visualization. She subsequently served as an algorithms engineer at Protein Metrics, LLC in 2020, where she developed algorithms for protein structure analysis.
From 2021 to 2024, Hogan worked at Swift Solar, a startup commercializing perovskite solar cell technology. She initially joined as a data engineer and was later promoted to Head of Data Systems, where she built data infrastructure to support the company's research and development operations.
In 2025, Hogan co-founded Labric, which provides a data platform designed to help scientific laboratories organize, structure, and analyze their experimental data. The platform includes a desktop application and integrations that connect to laboratory instruments, spreadsheets, and databases, syncing data into a centralized system. Labric automatically organizes experimental data into custom-built databases for each lab, enabling cross-experiment analysis. The platform also offers a jobs infrastructure and API that allows researchers to run automated workflows triggered by events such as new data from an instrument. Researchers can use AI-powered agents or bring their own large language models to query their data and generate visualizations and reports.[2]
Labric emphasizes security and flexibility, with SOC 2 Type II certification in progress, and offers a no-lock-in policy that gives users full access to their instrument parsers, data models, and up-to-date backups of experimental data. The company is based in San Francisco, California.
