Hey! đź‘‹ I'm Lina Marieth

I'm a research scientist and data scientist who loves making complex things make sense. I spent years in quantum physics labs building and playing with lasers, cold atoms and plasmas, and now I also apply that same curiosity to data problems.

How I work

Most of my projects start with a specific question I can't let go - like whether YouTube comments actually contain useful information (spoiler: sometimes), or what forbidden atomic transitions look like when you cool rubidium to nearly absolute zero.I care about making technical things accessible. Whether it's explaining quantum physics to 1.4M people on TED-Ed or helping women get into data science, I believe the best work happens when more people can participate.When I'm not doing research or data work, I'm usually organizing workshops, mentoring women in tech, or trying to make French grammar make sense (still working on that one).

THINGS I've BUILT

Research that advanced physics

  • First observation of the forbidden dipole transition (5P -6P) in cold Rb atoms. Read the paper

  • Led experiments at labs in USA, Mexico and UK.

  • Published 15+ peer-reviewed papers.

  • Selected among Europe's top researchers as expert evaluator by the EU Research Executive Agency to help with €1M+ Horizon research funding decisions.

  • Invited to create science communication that reached millions with the TED-Ed lesson: "What is the coldest thing in the world?" with 1.4M+ views. Watch it →

  • Built a cold plasma system from scratch to study optogalvanic effect and applied super-resolution technique to optogalvanic spectra to resolve previously undetected spectral lines. Read the paper

WHAT I'M LEARNING ATM

  • Right now I'm:

  • Exploring how to teach technical skills through official documentation instead of tutorials.

  • Learning French (currently at B1 and convinced the subjunctive exists just to confuse people).

  • Figuring out how to turn research skills into content that actually helps people switch careers.

COMMUNITIES I'VE BEEN PART OF

PyLadies Mexico | Co-Director 2018-2019|
Women in Data Science | Organizing Committee 2022-2023
Finding Ada Network | Mentor for women in STEM 2020-2021
I've spoken at PyLadies Amsterdam, WiDS, and other international events because I believe tech gets better when more voices are in the room.

Let's work on something interesting together.
