Research
Andrea Anguiano worked with Olmo Zavala Romero (2019–2021) on operational oil spill forecasting for the Gulf of Mexico. Andrea's undergraduate thesis, "Sistema de Pronóstico de Derrames de Petróleo en el Golfo de México" (Oil Spill Forecast System for the Gulf of Mexico), supervised by Zavala Romero, had three parts: a high-performance Lagrangian oil spill model written in Julia, an operational forecast system with a public website, and a web-based oil spill simulator. The code is available on GitHub.
Background
Andrea earned a Licenciatura en Ciencias de la Tierra (B.S. in Earth Sciences) from the Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), in 2022, working with UNAM's Ocean–Atmosphere Interaction (IOA) group.
