Biography
Tamara Rodríguez Castillo holds a PhD in Sciences and Technologies for the Environmental Management of Water Systems from the University of Cantabria (Universidad de Cantabria). She joined IHCantabria in 2010, thanks to a predoctoral grant from the University of Cantabria. The central theme of his thesis was the analysis and modeling at different spatio-temporal scales of the structural and functional components of freshwater aquatic ecosystems, with the ultimate goal of having a better understanding of ecosystem metabolism and carbon balances. In 2012 he did a research stay at The University of Waikato (New Zealand) with Professor David Hamilton. Nowadays, she collaborates as a postdoctoral researcher at the IHCantabria Foundation both in internal research lines and in the realization of different competitive R+D+i projects and contracts with the administration and companies.In this context, he has carried out several tasks of great scientific interest: field campaigns, laboratory sample analysis, statistical modeling, hydraulic numerical modeling (e.g., HEC-RAS, DELFT3D) and water quality modeling (e.g., WASP, DELFT3D), and management of various computer tools for data processing and analysis of results (e.g., R, Matlab, ArcGis). As a result of his research activity, he has published 6 articles in Science Citation Index journals, a book chapter and has participated in 3 international conferences. He is a member of the Iberian Association of Limnology, developing together with other young researchers of the association different collaborative science projects.
