Top SchoolSonia Rao is a data scientist with nine years of experience applying machine learning to scientific and societal challenges, currently at The Aerospace Corporation in the Los Angeles area. She combines a strong academic background in computer science, statistics and economics with hands-on research in computer vision and microscopy—publishing at SciPy and building deep learning and ensemble pipelines for cilia detection and de-noising. Sonia’s work spans applied research and production-oriented solutions, from RGBD registration for robotic pick-and-place to deploying models on cloud infrastructure. Passionate about climate justice, community empowerment, and inclusive AI ethics, she brings interdisciplinary thinking (geology, ecology, anthropology) to technical problems. An early-career researcher who has regularly operated in mixed teams of graduate and doctoral candidates, she’s comfortable translating complex research into practical, impactful systems.
