Tara Staresinic

Tara Staresinic joined the NSF Unidata Program Center as a student summer intern on May 18, 2026. This fall, Tara will be a senior at Penn State University, majoring in Meteorology and Atmospheric Science and minoring in computational science and German. She plans to pursue a graduate degree, potentially focusing on boundary-layer meteorology.

Says Tara:

I am interested in learning as much as I possibly can about software development in our field. I can’t wait to learn about the inner workings of fundamental NSF Unidata tools I've used in school, such as MetPy and netCDF, and explore new topics such as AI and Machine Learning.
