Erika Wagoner is a Space Systems Analyst and physics PhD with 11 years of research and engineering experience, blending cosmology-focused research with hands-on software development in Python and C++. She has built analysis code for baryon acoustic oscillation studies and applied machine learning to mitigate observational systematics, bringing rigorous statistical data analysis and scientific software practices to applied space science projects. Based in Pahoa, Hawaii, she consults at Stellar Science Ltd Co delivering customer-facing scientific analysis while continuing to develop production-ready tools. Her background as a TA and longtime tutor underpins strong communication skills for translating complex astrophysics into actionable results. Quietly interdisciplinary, she pairs deep theoretical training with practical codecraft—often using LaTeX and Mathematica to bridge publication-quality science and reproducible computational workflows.
