Senior🎓
Top SchoolEmily Longley is a Senior Data Scientist with nine years of experience bridging astrophysics research and industry analytics, currently based in Durham, NC. She earned a PhD in Physics from Duke and spent years developing open-source catalog-to-cosmology pipelines for large surveys like LSST, applying rigorous statistical and ML techniques to cosmic shear analyses. At SLAC and in multiple REU roles she combined numerical relativity, waveform modeling, and machine learning for gravitational-wave parameter estimation, demonstrating a knack for adapting cutting-edge research methods to practical pipelines. Now leading data science at Home Solutions, she brings provenance-minded, reproducible workflows from academia into product-focused analytics and model deployment. Colleagues describe her as the kind of scientist who translates petabytes of telescope data into actionable, production-ready insights while keeping an eye on where new simulations or data quality improvements will pay dividends.
