Formación de Capital Humano


Have directed 22 Master thesis, 3 PhD thesis and 31 Undergraduate thesis. Have co-directed 5 Master thesis and 9 Undergraduate thesis.

Conception, creation and direction of the industry diploma Geomechanics Applied to Mining Design. This diploma was created in 2016, the number of students in this diploma has been gradually increasing from 11 (2016) to 17 (2017) and 22 (2018). This is associated with the development plan and has generated an impact on the industry, improving professional competencies of people. The people trained in this program will lead to higher levels of performance (excellence) at the industry, offering a better approach based on what they did not have the opportunity of acquire during their former studies and this is also a good way to update their knowledge of new researches.
