Paul Muñoz received a civil engineering degree from the University of Cuenca, Cuenca, Ecuador, in 2015, and an M.Sc. in Water Resources Engineering from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Leuven, Belgium and Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Brussels, Belgium, in 2018. He is currently working towards a Ph.D. in water resources in the University of Cuenca. His research interests include the use of artificial intelligence for real-time hydrological applications such as flood and drought forecasting, the use of remote sensing products for retrieving reliable precipitation information, and the evaluation of high resolution technologies for punctual estimation of precipitation. Paul is a selected member of the young scientists programme from Integrated Research on Disaster Risk (IRDR), China. He has been awarded several scholarships including the VLIR-UOS Award Scholarship to study in Belgium, and recently, a 2-year research grant from the German Academic Exchange Service to complement his doctoral studies at the Philipps-University Marburg in Germany.
