Carlos A. Cruz

Lead software engineer of NU-WRF and eViz. Adjunct professor at GMU.

I actively mentor undergraduate and graduate students through NASA internships and university research collaborations. These mentorships emphasize open-source tools, scientific reproducibility, and real-world applications in Earth system science.
