Geologist and hydrology researcher at National University of Jujuy, modeling and monitoring the Chijra River watershed.
ArgentinaWhat I'm looking for
At the ImpaCT.AR Science & Technology Project in San Salvador de Jujuy, I was responsible for fluvial modeling and monitoring of the Chijra River watershed.
As an associate professor at the Faculty of Engineering, National University of Jujuy, I teach Geomorphology and Sedimentary Petrography. I also research hydrometeorological analysis for the sustainable exploitation of salars through RIESaS.
My work spans watershed analysis, hydrological and hydraulic modeling, and geological-environmental risk assessment. I’ve carried out fieldwork in extreme Altiplano-Puna environments, including surface and deep-lake sediment sampling and lake drilling.
I have a PhD in Geological Sciences from National University of Córdoba and have contributed to indexed publications, book chapters, and conference presentations. I’m seeking to apply my technical expertise to practical solutions in water management, mining, and environmental consulting.
