Academic Achievements
  • Several papers under review: 1. 'Developing Guidelines for Working with Multi-Model Ensembles in CMIP'; 2. 'Observed and modeled amplification of the frequency, duration, and extreme heat impacts of the Pacific trough regime'; 3. 'Weather Regime Diversity, Transitions, and Trends using Hexagonal Self-Organizing Maps'.
Research Experience
  • Currently a Ph.D. student at the Atmospheric and Oceanic Science Department at the University of Maryland, working with Dr. Maria Molina. Part of the Fresh Eyes on CMIP initiative, focusing on multi-model CMIP ensembles. Also a member of the American Meteorological Society's Committee on Artificial Intelligence Applications to Environmental Science. Recently visited NCAR at Boulder, CO, as part of the Graduate Visitor Program, focusing on evaluating long-term changes on the large-scale mid-latitude circulation and the impacts on surface extreme weather.
Education
  • Earned a bachelor's degree in engineering and a master's degree in water resources from the Universidad Nacional de Colombia.
Background
  • Research interests include large-scale Earth system dynamics, variability and predictability, extreme weather events, and climate change. Mainly using statistics, machine learning, and numerical modeling to gain a deeper understanding of processes in climate, meteorology, hydrology, and air quality.
Miscellany
  • In free time, enjoys playing and watching sports, watching movies, reading, and music.
