Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHaili Hu is a technical advisor and research-focused software engineer with 10 years of experience building scalable, robust data processing solutions at the intersection of research and IT. Currently at SURF, she helps researchers run high-throughput workflows and shapes national computational science strategy by translating domain needs in Earth Observation, Astronomy, and Physics into future IT infrastructure. Previously she developed operational satellite processing algorithms for greenhouse gas retrievals and production-grade pipelines at Satelligence, combining scientific rigor with production engineering. Trained as an astrophysicist (PhD), she brings deep domain knowledge in remote sensing and modeling to practical software and infrastructure challenges. Colleagues value her ability to bridge research, operations and governance—she’s equally comfortable designing algorithms, enabling reproducible workflows, and convening communities to turn scientific needs into deployable systems.
