Congratulations to MSc Arthur Siqueira-Macedo 🥂

Published on 2026/02/24 by Leonardo Uieda.

Last Friday, Arthur successfully defended his dissertation, earning the title of MSc in Geophysics! The examination committee had lots of questions which Arthur handled really well, demonstrating his proficiency with the work to which dedicated the past two years. The committee also had plenty of praise for the work and for how Arthur handled the presentation and questions. I couldn’t have been prouder of him!

It was a pleasure to work alongside Arthur for the past two years and watch his growth into a competent and dedicated scientist. What’s even better is that he’ll stay with the lab for the next four years to pursue his PhD (more on that in the future)!
