Overview
PROFILE
Master's degree in Geological Sciences and PhD in Earth Sciences from the Università degli Studi di Bari.
Post-doctorate on tephra fallout hazard assessment at Vesuvio and Campi Flegrei, at the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology in Naples, Italy.
Post-doctorate on tephra fallout hazard assessment for explosive Mexican volcanoes, at the Geosciences Center of the UNAM, Querétaro, Mexico.
Currently Professor/Researcher in Civil Engineering and Sustainable Technologies at the Tecnológico de Monterrey, Campus State of Mexico, Mexico.
Volcanologist by training, specialized in Computational Fluid Dynamics and risk analysis related to natural and engineering phenomena, through the application of numerical models and statistical analysis.
The main research lines currently developed are:
----- Analysis and evaluation of flood risk in Mexico through the study of hydrodynamic properties in channels and dams by the application of Eulerian and Lagrangian numerical models (SPH);
----- Numerical study of wave transport and calculation of energy potential on the coasts of Mexico;
----- Numerical simulations using the SPH model of the tsunami impact on the coasts;
----- Long-range hazard assessment of dispersion and deposit of volcanic ash, through numerical models.

RAISED FUNDING AND PARTICIPATION IN INTERNATIONAL PROJECTS
01.2024 Project Leader in the Call for UFRO-TEC Innovation Funds for technological development, with the project: "Integrated model for evaluating the impacts of extreme hydrometeorological conditions on critical housing, energy and transportation infrastructure for the design of territorial public policies."
2022-present ¿ Participant in "Toward a Wider Understanding of Vulcano ¿ WunderVu". The project, proposed by the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (Italy), aims, through a multidisciplinary approach, to study the conditions and processes that control the transition between different states of activity in Vulcano (Aeolian archipelago) and aims at a better understanding of the hydrothermal system.
