Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBeth Reid is a Staff Data Scientist in Boulder with 13 years of experience blending physics, atmospheric science, and software engineering to solve complex geospatial and weather-related problems. She has led research-to-production efforts at organizations from The Climate Corporation to Loon—where she navigated stratospheric balloons—and now develops data-driven approaches for mineral discovery at KoBold Metals. Her background as a NASA-funded Hubble fellow and cosmology researcher informs a rigorous quantitative approach and a talent for turning large-scale simulation and observational data into actionable models. Known for shipping production-ready algorithms (rainfall estimation, airborne pathogen transport) and bridging research and engineering, she thrives at the intersection of science and product. Rare among data scientists, she pairs deep theoretical expertise in cosmology with hands-on operational experience in the stratosphere.
