My research activity has been mainly developed at the University of Havana (UH-Cuba), the University of Vigo (UVIGO-Spain), and the Galicia Supercomputing Center (CESGA) over the past eight years. After completing an MSc in Meteorological Sciences in 2019 at UH, I obtained a competitive predoctoral fellowship from the Xunta de Galicia to pursue my PhD at UVIGO, focused on future changes in atmospheric humidity and wind fields using numerical simulations, and their implications for moisture transport and wind energy. I defended my PhD thesis (cum laude) in February 2024.
Subsequently, I held a postdoctoral research position at UVIGO for 11 months, participating in a project focused on regionalising global climate change models through WRF-based dynamic downscaling. At CESGA, I have led the numerical simulation tasks of the EPhysLab group, dedicated to the study of atmospheric moisture transport. I currently hold a postdoctoral position at CESGA, where I am developing the project: “Determining factors of meteorological droughts in Europe in current and future climates: high-resolution modeling of moisture and heat transport”, funded by the Xunta de Galicia (grant IN606B-2024.16, call 2024).
Throughout my career, I have participated in seven competitive research projects (three in Cuba and five national or international in Spain) and authored 52 scientific publications (12 as first author and 13 as second author) in high-impact journals, including Nature Communications, Communications Earth & Environment, and npj Climate and Atmospheric Science. One of these works led to the development of the TRansport Of water Vapor (TROVA) software, which is now widely used for studying atmospheric moisture sources and sinks (https://trova-docs.readthedocs.io).
I have contributed to 63 national and international conferences, co-authored Chapters 3 and 5 of the CLIVAR Report for Spain 2024, and completed two predoctoral research stays (3 months each) at the University of Lisbon and the Universidade de Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro (Portugal).
In teaching, I co-authored two undergraduate theses in Meteorology at UH and taught the courses Python for Meteorologists, Physical Meteorology, and Dynamic Meteorology. I am currently co-supervising a PhD thesis at the University of Vigo and a Master’s thesis at the University of Aveiro (Portugal) during my postdoctoral stay. Additionally, I serve as an Associate Editor for the journal Advances in Statistical Climatology, Meteorology and Oceanography.
My current research interests include climate modeling, climate extremes (e.g., droughts and atmospheric rivers), climate scenarios, and moisture and heat transport using global and regional models as well as artificial intelligence tools. I am also open to hosting and collaborating with early-career researchers (PhD or postdoctoral level).
