Short Bio:
Hernan has been a Physical Oceanographer and Ocean Modeler at Rutgers University since September 1995. He is the lead developer of the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) and its ROMS-JEDI interface, part of the Joint Effort for Data Assimilation Integration (JEDI) Framework. This framework was created by colleagues at the Joint Center for Satellite Data Assimilation (JCSDA) in Boulder, Colorado. Over the years, ROMS has become more sophisticated and advanced, thanks to the contributions of various interdisciplinary scientific colleagues. ROMS is a community model in every sense, and its software is freely available at www.github.com/myroms. It has nearly 8,000 subscribed users worldwide, representing 120 countries.
I am fortunate to have a job that I truly love. I am curious, patient, and determined to develop and code complex physical and mathematical numerical models. I have also been privileged to work alongside extraordinary and talented colleagues I respect and admire. I strive to carry on the legacy of my early mentors, who inspired me during my graduate studies at Texas A&M University. From a young age, I have been drawn to both the ocean and computers, and it continues to amaze me that my passion for these interests remains as strong as ever.
In my free time, I enjoy astronomy, photography, traveling, admiring our planet, cooking, tasting fine wines, and reading a variety of genres
