Tomás wins Scott C. Hagen Excellence in Scholarship Award

MS Student Tomás Cuevas López won the Scott C. Hagen Excellence in Scholarship Award at the ADCIRC Users Meeting. The award is for the most outstanding oral student presentation at the conference, as judged by a panel of Scott’s former students. Tomás presented about his MS research to develop a deep neural network for the prediction of coastal flooding maps.

Congratulations to Tomás!

Tomás accepts the award from Denise Delorme and Robert Twilley

Scott Hagen was a professor at UCF and LSU, a leading researcher in the development of models for coastal circulation and flooding, a devoted educator and mentor to hundreds of students in his career, and a great friend. This award is a great way to honor his memory.

Tomás awarded Chilean Graduate Fellowship

M.S. student Tomás Cuevas López was awarded a fellowship from the Chilean National Research and Development Agency. The Beca de Magister en el Extranjero supports Chilean students pursuing master’s degrees abroad. Awarded students are requested to eventually return to Chile to apply the new knowledge to contribute to the scientific, academic, economic, social, and cultural development of the country. Out of the 605 students that applied for the fellowship, 128 were selected. Tomás is one of only two Chilean students studying in the U.S. to receive the fellowship during this cycle.

Read more about the award on our department web site.

Congratulations to Tomás!
