Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoshua Bardwell is an astronomy researcher and PhD candidate based in San Diego with 11 years of cross-disciplinary experience spanning astrophysics research, science communication, and software-driven data analysis. He investigates stellar populations and AGN star-formation histories while developing open-source gravitational-wave templates and automated molecular-spectroscopy tools during multi-year stints at NASA Goddard. A NASA SCoPE seed-grant awardee and SETI educational affiliate, he co-leads a NASA-funded social media initiative—The Ambassadors Of The Cosmos—to translate discoveries into engaging educational content. Comfortable moving between Python-based research pipelines, visualization tools, and outreach design, he brings both technical rigor and creative storytelling to make complex space science accessible. An interesting but less obvious strength is his track record of building rapid, scalable analysis workflows (e.g., DARMA) that turned slow manual tasks into minute-scale computations, accelerating lab publication pipelines.
