Emily Austin is a Data Team Lead with nine years of experience combining data science with deep domain expertise in soil biogeochemistry and ecosystem ecology. She transitioned from academic research—where she led field experiments and meta-analyses on cover crops and soil organic matter and completed a PhD on climate effects on decomposition—to applied public-sector data work at the NH Department of Health and Human Services. Emily teaches and designs sustainable agriculture and ecology courses, reflecting a knack for translating complex ecological science into practical learning and policy-relevant insights. She completed a Data Science fellowship at The Data Incubator, bringing modern analytical workflows to environmental and health data problems. Colleagues describe her as a hands-on scientist-leader who connects molecular and field-scale understanding to scalable data analyses that support decision-making.
