Zoe Ye is a research-focused engineer and coach with a decade of experience bridging astrophysics, data-intensive science, and applied productivity solutions. Currently a Research Associate at the University of Cambridge, she leads SKA UK regional-centre tooling and coordinates a multidisciplinary team to streamline large-scale radio astronomy data pipelines while teaching and supervising graduate students. She pairs rigorous scientific training (PhD in Astrophysics) with practical delivery skills—holding an advanced Scrum Master credential and a brief strategy consulting stint—to translate complex requirements into usable systems. Outside academia she supports neurodivergent students as an ADHD mentor and runs Wonderingzoe, applying AI-driven workflows to improve executive function and productivity. A podcaster and educator, Zoe combines public communication with hands-on research, reflecting a rare mix of technical depth, empathy, and operational leadership.
