Summary
Edwin Goh is a data scientist and Georgia Tech PhD candidate with eight years of experience building high-performance simulation software and self-supervised ML systems for aerospace and Earth science applications. At JPL he led multi-investigator projects that cut labeling needs tenfold for Mars terrain segmentation, doubled inference throughput, and delivered a $1M NASA-funded foundation model for sea surface temperature reconstruction with 0.1°C accuracy. He combines hands-on ML research (contrastive and masked-image modeling, zero-shot evaluation) with systems engineering—scaling training to hundreds of CPUs/GPUs and deploying RL for Deep Space Network scheduling. Earlier roles at UPS and Georgia Tech honed his optimization, simulation, and teaching skills, and he has co-authored numerous grant proposals that secured ~$1.5M in funding. Colleagues describe him as a fast learner and creative problem-solver who translates complex physics and operations research problems into deployable data-driven solutions.
