2022 Summer Intern Nathaniel Martinez
NSF Unidata Program Center
Nathaniel Martinez joined the Unidata Program Center as a student summer intern on May 31, 2022. He is a rising 4th year student at the University of Chicago in Chicago, IL, where he is working towards a double major in computer science and environmental science.
Says Nathaniel:
Growing up close to Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, train yards, and forest preserves, I’ve become aware of some of the detrimental effects stemming from the interaction between humans and the environment. During high school, when I first explored computer science, I found the intersection between these two fields to be particularly promising and underexplored.
