I hold a Ph.D. in Transportation Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and a B.S.-M.S. in Industrial Engineering from Universidad del Norte. I have strong theoretical foundations in Operations Research, Statistical Methods, and Economics. I am passionate about research and teaching and have experience in both fields. As part of my research, I have developed mathematical models related to freight transportation and disaster response logistics. These include optimization models in facility location, freight distribution, and supply chain network problems. My work also involves game-theoretic models for supply chain cooperation, economic valuation for the lack of relief supplies, and urban freight demand models.
