My Name is
Rob Marchwinski
Astrophysicist and Aspiring Data Scientist
Hello there!
My name is Rob Marchwinski and I am an aspiring Data Scientist living in the Boston area. Currently I am employed as an Advanced Analyst at Coverys.
Prior to my current position, I was pursuing a career in Astrophysics and I still dabble when time permits. I received my B.A. in Astronomy & Physics from Boston University and my M.S. in Astronomy & Astrophysics from Penn State University.
In addition to my professional life, I am always looking for ways to learn more, to give back, and to complete items on my bucket list. Recently, I became EMT certified and was accepted as a Big Brother for their Mentor 2.0 program.

2012 - 2015
PENN STATE
Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics
Graduate Research Assistant
Under Professor Suvrath Mahadevan, I performed research related to the search for exoplanets. This included identifying false positives through a custom built pipeline and measuring stellar noise as a function of wavelength. The latter resulted in my second published paper.
2014
PENN STATE
Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics
Course Instructor
Possibly my favorite position was when I got to teach the summer offering of Introductory Astronomy at Penn State. I developed the lesson plan, lectures, all course materials, as well as taught the 26 enrolled undergrads.
2009 - 2012
BOSTON UNIVERSITY
INSTITUTE FOR ASTROPHYSICAL RESEARCH
Undergraduate Research Assistant
Performed research under Professor Dan Clemens. Using IDL, I developed an algorithm that combined different astronomical observations creating the first resolved map of magnetic field strength in an interstellar cloud. This research resulted in my first published paper.
2009
BOSTON UNIVERSITY
Center for Space Physics
Undergraduate Research Assistant
Used IDL to analyze radar observations of meteors passing through the atmosphere.
