Associate professor of the Department of Hydraulic and Environmental Engineering of Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile.
He is a civil engineer and holds a master’s degree in Science from Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. He received his PhD in Civil Engineering from Colorado State University, USA.
RESEARCH AREAS
Specialist in surface hydrology and the simulation of hydrological processes, particularly in urban and semi-urban areas. His research focuses on the relationship between anthropogenic systems and water, understood both as a resource and as a threat.
He is the Principal Investigator of the Fondecyt project “From coarse to fine temporal resolutions: the formal incorporation of climate change in the definition of climate series for hydrologic analysis and design”.
