Perfil Profesional

  • El Dr. Quesada es ingeniero industrial de la Universitat Politècnica de València (España) y de Arts et Métiers de Bordeaux (Francia), y cuenta con una maestría en Ciencias del Medio Ambiente, con especialidad en Interacciones Clima-Medio Ambiente y Teledetección de la Université de Versailles Saint-Quentin-En-Yvelines (Francia). Es doctor en Meteorología por la misma institución y realizó un posdoctorado en el Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Alemania).

    Desde su vinculación a la Universidad del Rosario en 2018, ha liderado importantes iniciativas académicas, entre ellas la cocreación del pregrado de Ciencias del Sistema Tierra y la fundación y dirección del grupo de investigación Interacciones Clima-Ecosistemas (ICE), clasificado en categoría A por Minciencias. Como climatólogo, ha publicado cerca de 50 artículos científicos sobre extremos climáticos, deforestación y sus impactos en el clima, así como sobre los ciclos del agua y del carbono. Además, ha tenido una destacada participación internacional como coautor de los informes del Panel Intergubernamental sobre Cambio Climático (IPCC) y de la Plataforma Intergubernamental Científico-Normativa sobre Diversidad Biológica y Servicios de los Ecosistemas (IPBES).
