Hydrological modeling

Biography

I am a postdoctoral R2 researcher at IMDEA Water with a background in hydrology, irrigation, and land use science. My work focuses on hydrological model development and catchment-scale analysis.

Within this project, I analyze streamflow variability across the living labs to investigate hydrological externalities associated with anthropogenic water use and to support assessments of ecosystem response.

I value careful data analysis and model development as tools to support interdisciplinary water research. Beyond research, I enjoy hiking and mountain biking, and spending time exploring natural landscapes.
