About Me

I am a Colombian geoscientist dedicated to understanding and mitigating geological and hydrometeorological hazards in the tropical Andes.

My academic path combines a B.Sc. in Geological Engineering (2017) and an M.Sc. in Water Resources Engineering (2022) from the Universidad Nacional de Colombia.

From 2017 to 2022 I worked at the same university, producing susceptibility maps, numerical simulations and satellite-based analyses for landslides, floods and debris flows across diverse Colombian terrains.

Since 2021 I have been part of Medellín’s Sistema de Alerta Temprana (SIATA), where I design real-time algorithms that fuse field instrumentation, remote sensing and machine-learning to issue early warnings for landslide events.

In 2024 I joined Universidad EAFIT as an adjunct professor, leading a postgraduate course on geotechnical instrumentation that blends theory with hands-on interpretation of sensor data from an active slope case study.

My research has yielded peer-reviewed publications on concatenated hydrometeorological hazards, rainfall-induced landslide risk under climate change, morphometric controls on debris-flow basins, and earthquake-triggered landslides.

I routinely manage interdisciplinary projects, process large geospatial datasets in Python and R, and translate technical findings into actionable guidance for risk managers.
