Summary
Marshall Styczinski is a Senior Software Engineer and planetary scientist who applies a decade of physics and lab experience to software-driven exploration of icy moons and subsurface oceans. He pairs robust skills in UNIX, Python, C++, Fortran and data analysis with hands-on experimental design—having built high-pressure, low-temperature apparatus and led electrochemical conductivity measurements up to 7000 atm. At JPL and Blue Marble he developed geophysical modeling and magnetic-sounding software, won multiple NASA awards as PI, and now translates those algorithmic skills to robotics, image processing, and cryptography at Covisus. A practiced educator and Socratic tutor, he brings clear science communication to complex technical teams and open-science projects. Unusually, his background spans particle and dark-matter collaborations, x-ray spectroscopy, and practical instrument repair, giving him both theoretical depth and lab-to-production fluency.
