About

I am a doctoral candidate studying climate-land surface interactions on long timescales. My research focuses mainly on understanding African humid periods across glacial cycles. Part of my work involves use of climate models of different levels of complexity to simulate such ancient climates of the Earth system.

Supervision: Prof. Dr. Martin Claußen (MPI-M/UHH), Prof. Dr. Victor Brovkin (MPI-M), & Dr. Thomas Kleinen (MPI-M). 

Studies

since 2020 Doctorate at Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (Hamburg, Germany)
2016–2018 M. Sc. Environmental Engineering at Universidad de Antioquia (Medellín, Colombia)
2010–2015 B. Sc. Biological Engineering at Universidad Nacional de Colombia Sede Medellín (Medellín, Colombia)
