Hi, I'm Antonia, and I'm originally from a California city called Newbury Park that has beautiful mountains and large open plains. I studied electrical and computer engineering at New York University, where I also minored in creative writing. Some of my favorite things to do are to read books, dance, and explore new cafes.
This year, I was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to conduct research at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg, Germany. Here, I work in the Climate Physics Department. I am using my previous research training from MIT Lincoln Laboratory and electrical engineering background to parse through large radar datasets that were collected over the Intertropical Convergence Zone. This region of the Earth is responsible for most of the world's weather patterns, but we still don't understand how certain clouds or shifting storms are initially formed. By investigating these origins and behaviors, we can make better climate models and promote science informed decisions.
