   personal_statement: "Legna Torres Garc\xEDa's work focuses on using multi-scale\
     \ observational and numerical model data to understand circulation, waves, sediment\
     \ transport, and coastal vulnerability. Her research includes simulations of\
     \ hydrodynamics and coastal change in Puerto Rico and the Florida Keys. In addition,\
     \ she is a principal investigator on a project on assessing the coastal vulnerability\
     \ of communities in Puerto Rico through a focused stakeholder engagement approach.\
     \ Her focus on both numerical model development and stakeholder engagement enables\
     \ her to address community needs with the best available science."
