Senior🎓
Top SchoolEllen Price is a computationally driven postdoctoral researcher at the University of Chicago with 12 years of experience applying advanced numerical methods and modern accelerator hardware to astrophysics problems. She holds a PhD from Harvard/CfA and a BS from Caltech, and has a track record of translating statistical and machine-learning techniques (e.g., KDEs and Gaussian mixture models) into improved signal extraction for challenging physical systems. Her background spans hands-on internships at national labs and NASA, open-source planet-search tooling, and undergraduate teaching and infrastructure roles, showing both deep technical skill and strong mentorship. Curious about cross-disciplinary applications, she’s keen to bring high-performance computing approaches honed on exoplanet and cosmic-ray problems to broader scientific and engineering domains.
