Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAbby Azari is an Assistant Professor and Canada CIFAR AI Chair at the University of Alberta who blends probabilistic machine learning with planetary and space physics to extract scientific understanding from large, noisy datasets. With eight years of research and teaching experience and a PhD in Atmospheric, Oceanic and Space Science from the University of Michigan, she leads the Azari Research Group and advances uncertainty quantification and interpretable ML for planetary systems. A NASA MAVEN science team member and former postdoc at Berkeley and UBC, she has applied Gaussian processes and Bayesian methods to planetary magnetism and space physics. Abby’s work sits at an unusual intersection of academia and mission science, translating ML innovations directly into tools used for spacecraft data analysis.
