Miguel Cahuich

Miguel Cahuich earned a B.S. degree in Chemistry from the Autonomous University of Nuevo León, an M.Eng. degree in Environmental Engineering from the Autonomous University of Yucatán, and a Ph.D. degree in Marine Sciences from the Laboratory of Coastal Processes and Physical Oceanography (LAPCOF) at the Center for Research and Advanced Studies of the National Polytechnic Institute (CINVESTAV-IPN) in Mexico in 2020. During his PhD studies, Miguel investigated the variability of local and synoptic winds in the Yucatan Peninsula and their role throughout the seasonal cycle in modulating dioxin and furan dispersion using the HYSPLIT-SV model. The project was developed through an international collaboration between LAPCOF and the NOAA Air Resources Laboratory (NOAA-ARL). Miguel subsequently conducted postdoctoral research at CINVESTAV-IPN and the National Autonomous University of Mexico, studying the main modes of ocean flow variability and particle dispersion in the Mexican Caribbean within the framework of the CEMIE-Oceano project. In April 2022, Miguel joined the NOAA-ARL HYSPLIT group as a Postdoctoral Associate on a greenhouse gas mitigation project in the Washington-Baltimore Metropolitan Area by coupling the HYSPLIT dispersion model with inversion methodologies to estimate greenhouse gas emissions based on downwind atmospheric measurements. This applied science work is a core part of the Urban GHG Emissions Measurement and Monitoring System (Urban-GEMMS), which is being developed by NOAA-ARL in close collaboration with other OAR labs (Global Monitoring Laboratory and Chemical Sciences Laboratory) as well as the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST).
