A study of convergence zones in South America: driving mechanisms and their decadal variability

The aim of my PhD project is to investigate the physical mechanisms of convergence zones in South America. Currently I am developing an objective criterion based on the flow deformation for detecting convergence zones in reanalysis and model data. 

Why do you do what you do?

My main motivations are my passion for environmental sciences and the desire to study a topic that can contribute to the development of my home country. 

Passions

Reading, playing music, scientific research 

Challenges

Letting things go, making new friends, moving to a new house
