About Sachin Alexander Reddy

I\'m a scientist and postdoctoral research fellow at NASA\'s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and a member of the Europa Clipper Magnetometer team. I hold an MSc in Systems Engineering with Space Systems and a PhD in Space Physics, both from UCL Mullard Space Science Laboratory, where I was the class valedictorian and was awarded the Alan Johnstone Prize for Outstanding Scientific Achievement.At JPL I develop machine learning frameworks to advance our understanding of ocean worlds, with a focus on Jupiter\'s moon Europa — a prime target in the search for life beyond Earth which will be explored by NASA\'s Europa Clipper and ESA\'s JUICE starting in 2031. I am also involved in mission formulation for NASA\'s explorer class and a co-founder of the Model Understanding Surrogates and Emulators (MUSE) collective.Previously a postdoctoral fellow at the National Institute of Polar Research (), Japan.My work sits at the intersection of AI and space exploration — spanning science, engineering, and the systems that will define the next generation of missions.redsach.github.io
