Rebekah Esmaili, Ph.D.
Atmospheric Scientist | Python Instructor | Writer
I am a senior research scientist for NOAA's Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) Proving Ground and Risk Reduction (PGRR) program. My projects focus on evaluating and improving satellite retrievals, particularly in context of user requirements. You can view my research publications on ResearchGate and resumé on LinkedIn. I run a series of in-person and online Python coding workshops tailored for Earth scientists. I am passionate about increasing satellite data access and coding literacy, so I recently published a python programming book through AGU's special collection!
Earth Observation using Python: A Practical Programming Guide.
