Rebekah Esmaili, Ph.D.
Research Scientist | Project Manager | Python Instructor
I am a senior research scientist with expertise in innovating satellite retrievals to support decision making. You can view my research publications on ResearchGate. 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 published a python programming book through AGU's special collection!
Earth Observation using Python: A Practical Programming Guide.
