Anna Romina Cervantes
howdy!
I am a Master’s student at the University of Texas at Austin studying geological sciences.
My academic and research interests focus on the intersection of energy systems, water resources, and environmental policy – areas where thoughtful, data-driven solutions can make a tangible difference.
My graduate supervisor is Lorena Moscardelli and my master’s thesis is on the hydrogen storage potential of salt domes in the Netherlands, funded by the Jackson School of Geosciences and the GeoH2 Industrial Associate program at the Bureau of Economic Geology at The University of Texas at Austin.
Originally from El Paso, Texas, I graduated Cum Laude from the University of Texas at El Paso in the fall of 2023 with a B.S. in Environmental Science with a concentration in hydrology. Then, in the fall of 2024, I entered the Geological Sciences Master’s program at the University of Texas at Austin, where I am set to graduate in the spring of 2026.
My academic work covers a variety of topics, one including a project on drought impacts on soil moisture dynamics in an agricultural vs forested region. I’m passionate about applying GIS, Python, and geospatial data analysis tools to better understand and address complex environmental challenges.
Outside of research, I enjoy painting, spending time outdoors, staying active, trying out new sports, diving into a good book, and exploring new places through travel.
