Me in NASA Ames Research Center’s Wind Tunnel.
My goal in life is to help make the world a safer and smarter place.
Check out my Compendium of Math and Physics, a collection of my undergraduate and graduate-level notes from my applied math and physics courses.
Available to Work!
I most recently worked as an AI Engineering Consultant for Slooh until early November 2026.
I am now looking for a new role that can leverage my technical experiences in astrophysics, remote sensing, data science, machine learning, as well as my science communication and content creation skills. Please reach out to my email at kylekabasares@gmail.com if you think I’m a fit for your organization!
NASA Ames + Bay Area Environmenetal Research Institute (10/2023 - 6/2026)
I previously worked for the Bay Area Environmental Research Institute (BAERI) as a Data Scientist at the NASA Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California as part of the NASA Earth Exchange (NEX) from October 2023 - June 2026. I used NASA supercomputers to analyze terabytes to petabytes worth of remote sensing data, mostly in support of NASA’s Wildfire, Ecosystem Resilience, & Risk Assessment Initiative or WERK Project. I also developed deep learning AI models for the GeoNEX project to perform pixel-based semantic segmentation of cloudy satellite images.
Physics PhD @ University of California, Irvine (09/2017 - 06/2023)
I graduated from the University of California, Irvine with my PhD in Physics in June 2023. During my PhD, I worked under the supervision of Professor Aaron Barth and developed custom Python-based software for the purpose of measuring the masses of supermassive black holes from data taken from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array and the Hubble Space Telescope. My dissertation can be read online for free here.
When I’m not doing research, I enjoy creating YouTube videos that involve my experiences in graduate school, showing how to solve physics problems step-by-step, and occasionally comedic physics & astronomy sketches. I also enjoy playing the piano and guitar.
