Hi, I’m Edgar. I’m a volcano physicist and computational scientist who likes building things, from models and software to experiments. My work has taken me across volcanic plumes, multiphase systems, geothermal heat transport, and other problems that catch my interest. I tend to follow the problem wherever it flows.

I’m drawn to problems that I can explore through math, computation, and physical modeling. That can mean developing a mathematical model, running large numerical simulations, or building a tool because the thing I need does not exist yet. I like having different ways to approach a problem and seeing where each one takes me.

I also care a lot about teaching, mentoring STEM students, and helping make technical spaces more welcoming and accessible. Sometimes I’m thinking about multiphase systems. Other times, I’m just thinking about ducks.
