Bio: Kelly Rose, PhD is the Senior Fellow for Computational Science & Engineering at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL). With over 20 years of experience in research and leadership, she has held senior roles, including serving as a senior research scientist and group leader at NETL. Before joining NETL, Rose worked as a resource exploration geoscientist in the energy sector.

Rose also serves as the Director of NETL’s Science-based AI/ML Institute (SAMI), where she established the first cross-disciplinary research institute dedicated to advancing explainable and innovative, science-based artificial intelligence research aligned with NETL’s applied energy mission.

At NETL, her research focuses on the development of novel, science-based, data-driven methods and advanced computing solutions to address energy resource and security challenges. Notably, she led the development of the Energy Data eXchange® (EDX), an award-winning platform for research data curation and collaboration. Additionally, Rose established and leads the GAIA (Geo-Data Science) group, advancing geo-data science research.

Throughout her career, Rose has successfully developed and led competitive, collaborative teams that deliver impactful, innovative solutions using advanced computing, data science resources, and models that are reusable, scalable, and reproducible. Her work spans a variety of scientific domains, including Earth science, energy resource discovery, risk mitigation, geoinformatics, research data management, metocean studies, unconventional critical materials, hydrocarbon systems, mineral and groundwater resources, geohazards forecasting, materials innovation, infrastructure resiliency, and smart cities and systems.

Rose has coauthored more than 100 public datasets, models, tools, journal publications, and technical studies that have used data science to generate applied energy advancements. She is the author of one patented technology, a registered trademarked technology, and several copyrighted software solutions. Additionally, she has mentored over 50 STEM research interns and fellows and is actively involved in STEM outreach activities.
