Summary
🤩
RockstarSoyoung Ha is a scientist and software engineer based in Boulder, Colorado with 12 years of experience building and integrating research-grade numerical models and data-assimilation systems. At NCAR she contributes deep Fortran and back-end expertise to the widely used DART (Data Assimilation Research Testbed) project, focusing on MPAS-Atmosphere integration, namelist and module modernization, and resolving tricky surface and pressure-bound assimilation issues. Her work sits at the intersection of atmospheric science and production-quality scientific software, translating domain theory into maintainable code that runs in community models. Colleagues rely on her for debugging complex model interactions and cleaning legacy code while preserving scientific fidelity. She combines long-term institutional knowledge with hands-on commits that improve both correctness and usability of open research infrastructure.
