Perfil Profesional

  • Doctor y Magíster en Meteorología Aplicada de la Universidade Federal de Viçosa–UFV (Viçosa, Brasil). Tiene dos posdoctorados en el área de ciencias atmosféricas, el primero realizado en la Universidade Federal de Viçosa–UFV (Viçosa, Brasil) y el segundo en la Universidade Federal de Itajubá (Itajubá, Brasil). Es Ingeniero Agrícola de la Universidad del Valle (Cali, Colombia). Durante los últimos años ha enfocado su trabajo de investigación al estudio del impacto histórico y futuro de extremos hidrometeorológicos en países tropicales. Desde agosto de 2022 es representante experto de la Organización Meteorológica Mundial en agroclimatología y climatología de Colombia. Su actividad docente ha sido especialmente en el área de ciencias del sistema tierra en actividades en pregrado y posgrado enseñando diferentes disciplinas como hidrología, simulación hidrológica, meteorología y climatología.
