Carolina Cuesta-Lazaro, Ph.D.

Carolina Cuesta-Lazaro works at the intersection of astrophysics and machine learning. She is interested in developing robust and interpretable models that can guide us towards future discoveries in physics. Carolina received her Ph.D. in Physics and Data Science from the Institute of Computational Cosmology at Durham University, UK. Alongside her PhD, she has been a research collaborator with the United Nations (UN) Global Pulse and the UK’s National Health Service (NHS), developing epidemiological simulations, and a research intern at Amazon’s Alexa team. She was also a postdoctoral fellow at the NSF Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Fundamental Interactions (IAIFI) at MIT and the Center for Astrophysics at Harvard.
