Hi @CHIPS,
I think you’re confusing Gabriela Mystkowska, who is a Polish PhD student at the University of Pisa’s Department of Information Engineering as well as a Visiting Researcher at ESA (which also happens to be the organisation that is co-funding her PhD), with Sylvia Traxler, who is a Senior Principal Software Engineer at Raytheon Technologies.

Sylvia Traxler was one of three RTX employees visiting the BrainChip private suite at the Venetian Tower during CES 2025. We know that to be a fact, since she and her colleagues Bryce Nakamori and Geoff Martin were featured in a group photo together with Steve Thorne and JP Wright, which was later posted by BrainChip on LinkedIn. However, that “Day 2: Productive Day at #CES2025” post publicly revealing RTX as a BRN partner vanished into thin air shortly after.
Some of us had long figured out that RTX were likely the subcontractor in question with regards to the AFRL SBIR contract that BRN had been awarded in December 2024, but apparently the negotiations were either not completely cut and dried or there were other reasons why this partnership was not yet supposed to go public. Anyway, IMO a very unprofessional slip-up to completely delete a publicly visible LinkedIn post without a comment. They could have just edited it instead.
Here are several 9 January 2025 posts by @Tothemoon24, @miaeffect, @Quiltman and @SERA2g, which prove that the LinkedIn post in question did exist for a short time - unfortunately, no one that day appears to have posted the actual picture showing the RTX trio…

Ah, you are right ... similar looking, but different persons. Sorry.
