Ria Carlo (née Ria Persad) was born on June 18, 1974, in Trinidad and Tobago, is of East Indian descent, and moved to the United States as a small child. She is both a mathematician and a classical musician〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.alexanderbuonointl.com/CompetitionPAOTM.asp )〕 and was a child prodigy. She currently mentors technology companies and is signed as a fashion model. ==Scientific career== Despite humble beginnings as an immigrant, at the age of 12, Ria started doing research under mentor Eleanor F. Helin at Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, in Asteroid Discovery, Origin, and Motion, and at the age of 13, she was a research assistant at the High-temperature Superconductivity Lab at Boston University. At the age of 14, she developed new methods of numerical integration including the "Method of Polygonal Partitions", "Vector Approximation Method", and "Inversion Method". Carlo's research in calculus won her the 1st Award for 2 years in a row at the M.I.T. State Science Fair. From the age of 14, Carlo took mathematics coursework at Harvard University. At the age of 16, she graduated valedictorian of the Class of 1991 at Boston Latin School, an examination school and the oldest high school in the United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】first=Ria )〕 She was subsequently recruited by Princeton University, where she worked as research assistant under Prof. John N. Bahcall at the Institute for Advanced Study on Hubble Space Telescope Data Analysis of Quasar Spectrum Emission. She was a presenter at the Harvard AAVSO.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1994BAAS...26..262. )〕 Carlo later studied Mathematics and Physics at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom on a Commonwealth Scholarship. She entered the Ph.D. mathematics program at Rice University in 1995, but did not complete the program, instead taking a job at NASA's Johnson Space Center as a Martian Meteoroid Analyst during the Mars Pathfinder Mission. Carlo received a Highest Honor Award from the Society of Women Engineers.〔(The Society of Women Engineers )〕 She was honored in the Presidential Scholars Program under President George H. W. Bush. She was awarded citations by Ted Kennedy of the United States Senate and Hazel R. O'Leary of the U.S. Department of Energy. Working as a climatologist at Enron and Duke Energy, she recognized the needs of energy trading and weather risk management operatives. Seeing a gap in the availability of data for these industries, she went on to develop state-of-the-art short-, medium and long-range weather prediction systems which were peer-reviewed among academia and U.S. Department of Defense scientists and rigorously tested for the top meteorological broadcasting station in the Midwest.〔http://www.stateoftheindustry2013.com/speakers/ria-persad/〕 Her mathematical and scientific areas of interest have been in Space Physics and Defense Systems, Orbital Dynamics, Geospace and Climatology, Computational Modeling, and Predictive Analytics. She is regarded as a subject matter expert in Applied Mathematics, and she currently works on Classified Projects supported by the United States Department of Defense.〔(【引用サイトリンク】first=Ria )〕 In 2009, Carlo founded (StatWeather ), a weather and climate services corporation specializing in the novel application of Bayesian neural networks and artificial intelligence to automated forecasting systems. The results of this method came to attention of Platts and (Energy Risk ), garnering StatWeather the 2013 Newcomer of the Year Award〔"StatWeather Receives Energy Risk 2013 Newcomer of the Year Award". The Wall Street Journal. Retrieved July 22, 2013.〕 and ranking as a top global provider in the Weather Data Management category of Energy Risk Software Rankings.〔2013 Winners, Energy Risk Awards. ''Risk.net''〕 Forbes, in an article on the future of innovation,〔"Why the Future of Innovation is Simulation". Forbes. Retrieved July 22, 2013.〕 reported that StatWeather "has managed to double the accuracy of weather forecasts." In May 2015, Carlo's company, StatWeather, won the distinction of Energy Risk's #1 Global Data Provider, an international recognition for top company strategy, accuracy, and product execution. 〔http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/05/18/tx-statweather-idUSnBw185347a+100+BSW20150518〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ria Carlo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
