Andreas Berlind is a program director at the National Science Foundation's Astronomy Division, guiding federal grants for astronomy researchers across the United States with a focus on extragalactic science and data science/AI. Formerly a Professor of Astrophysics at Vanderbilt University, he led a research group, advised students, and co-founded the Data Science Institute to expand data-driven research and education. His work spans theory and observation, running large N-body simulations on supercomputers and analyzing data from major galaxy surveys to quantitatively compare observations with simulations. As NSF Program Director, he orchestrates support for data-intensive astronomy, data science, and AI initiatives and builds bridges with industry and government partners. He earned an AB in Astrophysical Sciences from Princeton and a PhD in Astronomy from Ohio State, and he is based in Washington, DC. This rare blend of hands-on research, program leadership, and institutional-building enables him to accelerate discovery at the intersection of cosmology and data science.
