José Gescilam Sousa Mota Uchôa

I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Graduate Program in Hydraulic Engineering and Sanitation (SHS-PPG) at the São Carlos School of Engineering, University of São Paulo (USP), where I also completed my masters degree. I hold a Bachelors degree in Civil Engineering from the Federal University of Ceará (UFC) and a degree in General Engineering from École Centrale de Lille, France. At UFC, I graduated with the highest academic distinction, Summa Cum Laude.For the research developed during my masters and doctoral studies, I was recognized by the Brazilian Association of Groundwater (ABAS) with the Aldo Rebouças Award in 2024, by the Brazilian Association of Water Resources (ABRHidro) with the Young Researcher Award in 2025, and by the American Geophysical Union (AGU) with the David S. Miller Young Scientist Scholarship in 2024 and the Horton Research Grant in 2025.Throughout my undergraduate, masters, and current doctoral studies, I have served as a teaching assistant for several courses in the Civil Engineering program. Now, I participate as a volunteer in the AGU Hydrology Section Student Subcommittee (H3S) and as a student representative on the AGU Catchment Hydrology Technical Committee.My primary research interest lies in integrated water resources management, with a particular focus on hydrological processes occurring at the interface between surface water and groundwater systems.
