NASA Earth Sciences & UW Hackweek 2024

Anthony is leading the eScience Institute's Hackweek-as-a-Service program. He is an advocate for open, inclusive and collaborative science. He has experience teaching GIS and has been the lead organizer for multiple earth-science themed hackweeks. His background is in cryospheric science and remote sensing.

I am passionate about all things that are in service to building collaborations, especially interdisciplinary ones. I love building frameworks that make it easier for science groups (research, applied, data, stakeholders) to understand each other and how they might fit together to address the larger, more complex science challenges that are impossible to touch without a community of collaborators representing all angles & all perspectives.

I am a Research Software Engineer at the University of Washington with a strong focus in designing, developing, and maintaining scientific data analysis systems. I am a contributor to various open source software. I learning new technologies and apply them in my work.

Jessica is a glaciologist, remote sensing specialist, open science advocate and educator, collaborative developer, open-source software contributor and maintainer, and community manager. She enjoys weaving her many roles together to work with others to build software that makes it easier for everyone to access and manipulate data, and she's especially fond of detecting icebergs.

Joe is a research scientist at Boise State University with a focus on physical based snow modeling development and operational application. He has a background in software development and would love to see more software development best practices, open source software, and open science principles being adapted throughout the research community.

Naomi is a Technical Education Specialist at the University of Washington's eScience Institute. She has a background in electrical engineering and computer science, but loves spending her time working on the interface between complex domains of information, be they software, hardware, or people.

Scott is a research scientist and data science fellow at the University of Washington. His research is focused on applications of synthetic aperture radar to understand geophysical processes. Scott is excited about the potential for open source software and Cloud computing to enable more open and reproducible science.
