Laurel wreath for Elisa Ligas, the first graduate with a Master’s degree in Geophysics and Geodata, awarded with top honors, 110 cum laude and a special mention!

This is an English-taught degree program, closely aligned with industry, and supported by three of our departments: Mathematics, Computer Science and Geosciences; Physics; Engineering and Architecture.

Ligas presented a thesis on applications in the fields of natural resources and natural hazards, using innovative methods for subsurface studies with applications in energy and environmental fields.

Her academic path provided Elisa with training in both scientific and industrial settings, including international experiences such as the Arctic Geophysics School at the University Centre in Svalbard.

Now she is set to begin a PhD in Earth Sciences, Fluid Mechanics, Mathematics, and Applications.
