Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChelsea Sharon is an astronomy instructor and former assistant professor with 8+ years of quantitative research and teaching experience, skilled at turning noisy observational data into robust scientific insights using statistical and computational methods. She has built and led small research teams, managed >$800k SGD in grants, and published widely while developing practical data pipelines and matched-filtering routines for large radio surveys. Equally comfortable in the classroom and the lab, she designs project-based curricula and outreach programs—down to planetarium shows—that broaden participation in STEM. Her technical toolbox spans Bayesian methods, MCMC, Monte Carlo, Fourier and image analysis, and signal processing, enabling cross-disciplinary solutions from model fitting to A/B-style hypothesis testing. Based in Portland, she now blends online astronomy instruction with community-responsive course development, bringing a physicist’s rigor and a communicator’s creativity to problems both pedagogical and technical.
