PhD student (holder of the Swiss Government Excellence Scholarship) since September 2023.
About me
I received a BSc in Environmental Science from the University of Cuenca (Ecuador, 2014) and an M.Phill. degree in Environmental Science (Meteorology Track) at The Cyprus Institute (Cyprus, 2023) after obtaining an M.Sc. at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile.
I joined the Hydrometeorology and Surface Processes Group in September 2023 as a Ph.D. student in the Environmental Sciences/Studies program. The topic of my Ph.D. thesis is “Hydrometeorological analysis of storm-triggered floods in Ecuador: towards real-time flood forecasting”.
