Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAaron Ewall-wice is a Lead Algorithm Engineer with 11 years of experience designing and deploying algorithms that extract and transmit information across human-made and natural channels, currently focused on remote sensing and communications. Trained as an applied cosmologist with a PhD from MIT, he has a track record of pulling faint cosmological signals out of tera- to peta-scale radio datasets while mitigating overwhelming foregrounds and anthropogenic radio interference. His work spans algorithm development, telescope design optimization, and end-to-end signal separation—skills honed through roles at JPL, UC Berkeley, and in academic research. Based in Woburn, MA, he blends deep domain expertise in radio astronomy with practical engineering for real-world sensing systems, often tackling problems where noise and contamination exceed the signal by orders of magnitude. An underappreciated strength is his experience translating highly theoretical cosmology methods into production-ready algorithms for operational sensing platforms.
