Dr Leonardo Uieda PhD • Pronouns: He/Him

Personal Statement

I'm a geophysicist specializing in mathematical and computational methods for determining the inner structure of the Earth from physical observations, like disturbances in the Earth's gravity and magnetic fields. I work on a range of open-source software projects in Python and C, including Fatiando a Terra, Tesseroids, and PyGMT. I'm an advocate for openness in the scientific process and the adoption of best practices in computational research.

My teaching covers several aspects of the Earth Sciences: remote sensing, gravimetry, geodynamics, programming. I make extensive use of computational tools, simulations, and exploration of real-world datasets throughout my teaching to prepare students with the quantitative skills they'll need to stand out in a modern Earth Science career.

You can find out more about me online through the Computer-Oriented Geoscience Lab and my personal website.
