Associate professor at the Department of Hydraulic and Environmental Engineering of School of Engineering of Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile.
He is a civil hydraulic engineer and holds a master’s degree in Engineering Sciences from Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (2006) and a PhD in Hydrogeology from the University of Nevada.
RESEARCH AREAS
His studies address water and energy interaction, evaporation, heat as an environmental tracer, and surface and groundwater interactions. He also studies the transport of pollutants in the environment, renewable energy sources, thermal desalination and sustainable water production.
