Hi, I'm Edgar

A PhD candidate researching the dynamics of volcanic flow.

Who I am

Using my background in Physics (B.S. and M.S.), I apply principles of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics to study volcanic eruption processes.

My research focuses on developing mathematical models, running simulations, and conducting numerical experiments to explore and predict the behavior of dynamic natural systems—particularly explosive volcanic eruptions. By leveraging computational science, I aim to gain insights into complex processes that are challenging to observe directly.

I'm passionate about advancing our understanding of volcanic systems and their interactions with the environment. I highly value collaboration within the Earth Science community and am dedicated to mentoring and inspiring the next generation of scientists.
