Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKalyn Dorheim is an Earth Scientist with nine years of experience applying computational and data-driven methods to environmental and natural resources problems at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. With an MS in Applied and Computational Mathematics from Johns Hopkins and a multidisciplinary undergraduate background in biology, environmental studies, and mathematical biology, she bridges domain science and software development to deliver rigorous analyses. She contributes to open-source climate modeling—working on GCAM’s emissions modules and R-based data workflows—bringing practical experience in back-end development for a widely used global change model. Prior roles in policy and conservation give her a rare combination of scientific, technical, and policy-facing perspectives that inform collaborative, impact-oriented research.
