Civil engineer graduated from the National University of Colombia (Medellín campus, 1998). Master’s degree (2002) and a PhD (2013) in Geotechnics from the University of Brasília. Affiliated with the University of Medellín since 2002, currently serves as a full-time faculty member and coordinator of the Civil Engineering program. Member of the Civil Engineering Research Group (GICI) and the Permanent Technical Commission on Mass Movements and Erosion of the Colombian Geotechnical Society. The research and consulting work focus on slope stability analysis and landslide risk—specifically under the influence of hydrometeorological events and climate variability in the Andean region [1] (as well as the experimental and numerical modeling of mudflows and torrential floods in mountain watersheds. Additionally, pursues research lines centered on innovation in road infrastructure through soil stabilization using recycled materials (such as brick waste, fly ash, and end-of-life tires).
