Hey friend, I'm Adriana, and I'm a graduate student at MIT! My research interests are modeling and simulation, scientific computing algorithms, and the geometric tunability of materials and their respective properties. I completed my B.S. in computer science with a minor in physics at the University of South Florida (May 2022), and am also a recipient of the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship (2022).

Post Ph.D., I plan to pursue a career as a professor or research scientist, focused on the intersection of STEM, environmentally-conscious practices, and diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Outside of the lab (aka my computer), I enjoy hanging out with friends and doing these activities, like playing piano and bouldering, among other things. I also help to lobby with Congress on environmental concerns as a Citizens' Climate Lobby volunteer.
