Ana del Aguila

Dr.-Ing. del Águila got her PhD in the Technical University of Munich (TUM) with the thesis entitled "High Performance Processing Algorithms of Satellite Measurements for Retrieval of Trace Gases and Cloud Properties". She was granted with a German Aerospace Center/German Academic Exchange Service (DLR/DAAD) scholarship (grant no. 57424731). She defended her thesis on 17 December 2021 obtaining the highest qualification of Summa Cum Laude. After her PhD, she did a Postdoc at the Passive Sensing group in the DLR Remote Sensing Technology Institute at the Oberpfaffenhofen site, belonging to the Earth Observation Center (EOC). She worked in projects to improve her expertise in development of scientific retrieval algorithms for clouds and aerosols of Copernicus/ESA missions like Sentinel-5P and Sentinel-4. She recently started a Postdoc position in LifeWatch ERIC for investigating the impact of Saharan dust particles on Sierra Nevada Natural Park, using satellite and ground measurements. During her career, Dr.-Ing. del Águila has published more than 14 peer-reviewed papers indexed on the JCR (h-index: 9, 292 citations).
