I am a Research Scientist at Google Research in Mountain View, California, where I focus on advancing weather forecasting and climate risk assessment technologies using artificial intelligence.
I earned my PhD at the California Institute of Technology, working with Tapio Schneider. Before that, I earned Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Aerospace Engineering at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (Spain) and ISAE-SUPAERO (France), respectively.
My broad interest lies in the study and mathematical modeling of physical systems that directly impact society, such as weather and climate. Mathematical models, be they physics-based or data-driven, are essential for understanding and predicting the behavior of these systems. This understanding is crucial for a range of applications, from designing resilient infrastructure and informing policy to optimizing the energy grid and boosting agricultural yields. For instance, improved weather prediction can reduce the negative impact of heat waves and storms on human populations, while accurate climate risk assessments can inform engineering requirements for dams and power grids to lower future maintenance costs.
