Formación de Capital Humano


During my academic career I have taught more than 10 different subjects as a lecturer and assistant lecturer, both at undergraduate and postgraduate level. Currently these are the subjects I am in charge of
Undergraduate
Environmental Modelling
Hydrology
Distributed Hydrology
Advanced Hydrology
Infrastructure and Environmental Projects
Fluid Mechanics

Postgraduate
Distributed Hydrology
Advanced Hydrology
Environmental Modelling

Course abroad
GIS and Hydrology, Hydrological modelling with SWAT. Module taught in a Master's course at the University of Magdeburg, Germany, from 2015 to date.

On the other hand, I have supervised more than 50 undergraduate theses during the last 25 years, I have participated as an examining committee in at least 30 doctoral and master theses and I am currently co-guiding professor or committee of 4 doctoral thesis and 8 master thesis.


Difusión y Transferencia


During the last 25 years I have participated in various technical assistance projects both in Chile and abroad in the following areas: integrated studies in watersheds; studies of water availability under climate change and land use scenarios, studies to support regulatory processes; environmental monitoring; hydroelectric projects; land planning; risk analysis and natural disasters; pulp industry and infrastructure works.

I was a member of the advisory committee for the update of the Energy Policy, Ministry of Energy during 2020, as well as a member for 6 years of the Council of Civil Society Organisations of the Ministry of Agriculture. I was part of the advisory committee on climate change and the advisory committee on water resources of the Ministry of Science, Technology, Knowledge and Innovation for 4 years. I am currently a member of the expert advisory committee for the update of the long-term infrastructure policy in the Ministry of Public Works.

During my career I have given several lectures related to my area of expertise in schools, and other instances such as forums, congresses, etc.
