Welcome to my page:
You can call me Regu and my pronouns are he/him
I am a Malaysian national of south Indian ancestry. My primary education started in the UK & I did my higher education in the US. So naturally, I like to think of myself as a global citizen & cherish all parts of my identity.
My values:
I am an ally to all in need! I am committed to fostering a sense of belonging, and improving accessibility, justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion in science and society.
Regupathi (Regu) Angappan
I am currently a Postdoctoral Scientist at SandboxAQ in the AQNav team, and a visiting scientist, in Earth & Planetary Sciences at Johns Hopkins University.
​
I am commonly identified as a planetary scientist specializing in planetary magnetism and magnetospheres. Though the title of geophysicist, data and AI scientist, and educator also fit the roles I play.
​
I have collaboratively used novel datasets and simulations to better characterize the magnetic fields of planets and subsequently gain insights into the deep interior regions of the planet, from which the magnetic fields arise. In this curiosity-driven pursuit, I get to piece together a small part of the puzzle on how planets form and evolve, and what our place in all this grandness is.
​
I now focus on applying AI to various scientific challenges, including advancing magnetic navigation technologies at SandboxAQ. My work in AI spans multiple fields, where I contribute to the development of AI-driven solutions to enhance product reliability and address broader challenges, such as climate change and predicting changes in natural systems like Earth's magnetic field. I am passionate about ensuring science innovation and AI are applied ethically and inclusively, with a focus on building solutions that are both sustainable and empathetic in nature.
​
I also have a passion for science education and outreach. A passion that has manifested itself in some research on inclusive teaching and the development of new curricula.
​
I am always looking to motivate and work on inclusive and sustainable, interdisciplinary science, that brings communities together to bond over a sense of awe, and/or to address the challenges of our time.
