Mentor: Dorian Abbot, Professor, Geophysical Sciences
Daniel Hernandez is an undergraduate CS major specializing in machine learning, with a minor in data science, and a member of the UChicago track and field team. He also plans to pursue the CS BS/Mx program at UChicago. As a summer research assistant for Professor Abbot, he will conduct research on developing AI-driven emulation tools for extreme climate events. In this role, he is excited to gain hands-on experience with scalable machine‐learning frameworks and exploring the intersection of AI and climate science, all while contributing to methods that inform resilient policy and adaptation strategies.
