Antonio (Tony) C. Rodriguez

I am a Data Sceintist on the Research team at Waymo. I was previously a full-time astrophysicist, working on understanding the extreme physics of binary stars. This research site contains my previous and current astrophysics work, using data-mining techniques, both classical and AI-based, to make new discoveries in the largest astronomical datasets ever collected.

I held a Future Faculty Leader (FFL) Prize Fellowship at Harvard University in the Center for Astrophysics, Harvard & Smithsonian (2025-2026), and earned my PhD in the Department of Astronomy at Caltech, where I worked with Professors Shri Kulkarni and Kareem El-Badry (202-2025). I completed my undergraduate education in the Department of Physics at Stanford University (2016-2020), and I am originally from Salinas, California.
