This summer, Yash Diggikar, a Ph.D. student in computer science, worked for NASA Goddard in Greenbelt on AI-assisted weather and earth-system modeling. Diggikar connected to the NASA project through his advisor, UMBC research professor Milt Halem, a retired NASA employee who maintains strong connections to the agency. Diggikar says his summer work at NASA has clarified the direction of his Ph.D. research, which will look into how machine learning can speed up predictions of the Earth’s weather systems. “I have started to actually see a path, and how people can start a research project and end up at the end goal,” he says.
