Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNeesha Schnepf is a research geophysicist and data-driven scientist with nine years of experience probing Earth's and planetary magnetic environments, currently serving as a Research Fellow at Adelaide University after postdoctoral work with the Geomagnetism Team at CIRES, University of Colorado Boulder. She has combined academic depth—a PhD in Geophysics (Geomagnetism) from CU Boulder and an M.Sc. in Planetary Science from MIT—with applied roles at USGS, LASP, and industry as a data scientist at Maxar, navigating both fundamental research and operational datasets. Her work spans observational geomagnetism, space-atmosphere interactions, and quantitative data analysis, bringing together remote sensing, geophysical modeling, and practical problem solving. Colleagues describe her as someone who moves seamlessly between lab-grade research and mission-relevant applications, often translating complex magnetic signals into actionable geoscience insight. Based in Adelaide but with international experience (ETH Zurich, NOAA internships), she blends global collaboration with local leadership in Earth and space science. An understated strength is her pattern of stepping into diverse institutional roles quickly—from internships to research scientist positions—demonstrating adaptability and an appetite for interdisciplinary challenges.
