Lauren Prox

Lauren Prox joined the Unidata Program Center as a software development summer intern on May 18, 2020. Lauren graduated from George Mason University’s Atmospheric Science Program in the spring of 2020 with a focus in Computational Atmospheric Science. She plans to enter a graduate program in Geospatial Intelligence in the fall, but this summer she'll be focusing on contributing to the netCDF project, where she is excited to enhance the tools researchers use to share their data and collaborate with other scientists.

Says Lauren:

I met a former Unidata intern at the AMS100 conference, and I was told of how amazing and engaging this internship experience would be. After hearing about all the beneficial aspects of the Unidata program, I was even more excited about this opportunity.

Note: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Unidata's 2020 summer interns did not travel to Boulder to work on their projects in person. Instead, they interacted with Unidata developers through e-mail, online chat, and video conferencing.
