Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLuke Fairchild is a data scientist and geologist with 11 years of experience applying quantitative and computational methods to earth science problems, currently building data products at KoBold Metals. He holds an M.S. in Earth and Planetary Science from UC Berkeley where he integrated paleomagnetic, geochronologic, and stratigraphic data to tackle questions about continental reconstructions, plate motion rates, true polar wander, and the geodynamo. Luke is a scientific software contributor — co-developing PmagPy and working with large geomagnetic repositories like MagIC and PINT — bringing domain expertise and reproducible tooling to complex datasets. His background spans field and lab research, teaching, and hands-on technical roles (including electrician work and property/website management), giving him a practical, systems-oriented approach to data problems. Currently also pursuing an M.S. in Electrical Engineering, he blends geoscience intuition with growing electrical and computational engineering depth.
