My name is Sarvesh Garimella, and I work at MyRadar as the Chief Scientist and CTO. The company’s main endeavors are the MyRadar App and HORIS Satellite Constellation. My research is focused on combining artificial intelligence with observational data to develop novel ways to measure and understand the environment. 

Before joining MyRadar, I completed my PhD Climate Physics and Chemistry in the Program in Atmospheres, Oceans and Climate, which is part of the Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences Department at MIT. I worked on the interactions of aerosol particles and clouds and looking at how these interactions affect the climate system. Clouds in the climate system are a particularly important and interesting problem, because they are the single largest source of uncertainty in future climate projections. I worked with Droplet Measurement Technologies in Boulder, CO to help develop the SPectrometer for Ice Nuclei (SPIN), a new ice cloud chamber designed to measure the formation of ice crystals under various conditions. I also worked on applying machine learning algorithms to analyze ice nucleation data and quantify uncertainties in ice nucleation field measurements.

In addition to my day job, I’m a huge fan of jazz music. I currently play trumpet with the NoPo Big Band.
