Becca Hall
Hi! I’m Becca (she/her)- a current grad student in Dr. Ángel Adames Corraliza’s group. My current research interests are in tropical storm initiation and organization and tropical deep convection (although, if you want to chat about clouds I am always down- clouds are legitimately the coolest things in the universe). The tropics are a crucial part of the atmosphere and act to globally distribute energy and mass, so it’s important that we better understand the processes that occur within them. Additionally, a large portion of the human population resides within the tropics and by improving our understanding of the tropical atmosphere, we also improve the manner in which these people can plan and prepare for severe weather.
As for my lore, I’m from northern Virginia (the Appalachian side, not the DC side) and I got my undergrad degree in physics and environmental science from the University of Virginia (wahoowa!). While Madison is a neat city, I deeply miss the mountains and sweet tea.
Another fun fact: my Italian heritage is very important to me and I spent the past several years learning to speak Italian and visiting the country as often as I can.
I’m terrible at picking just one hobby and as a result my free time is filled with an assortment of reading, writing, drawing, painting, knitting, baking, playing Legend of Zelda . . . (this list goes on for a while)
Da ultimo, grazie per la lettura e che tu possa avere la buona fortuna nei tuoi sforzi!
