Her passions led her to pursue studies in ærospace engineering at renowned universities including Cambridge and MIT. In 2014, she joined NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where she has worked on the Mars 2020 mission, specifically the Perseverance rover, which landed on Mars in February 2021.

Alibay also has an avid interest in science communication. She has been featured in numerous newspapers, television and radio shows, and conferences around the world. She encourages women and minorities to pursue careers in STEM and has made it her mission to make the field more diverse and unbiased.
