Aodhan Sweeney

Aodhan Sweeney joined the Unidata Program Center as a software development summer intern on May 20, 2019. Aodhan graduated from Florida State University in May 2019 with a bachelor's degree in Physics; he will be starting a Ph.D. program in Atmospheric Science at the University of Washington in the fall. This summer, Aodhan will be working to extend Unidata's siphon package, with the goal of making publicly-available atmospheric datasets more accessible.

Says Aodhan:

Unidata and its internship program foster independent thinking and self-motivation. There are so many avenues in which you can contribute to the atmospheric community through this internship. If you are interested in any aspects of atmospheric or computer science, opportunities to follow them are readily available and the Unidata team is super supportive in all projects you want to pursue.
