I teach courses of the area of hydraulic resources and environmental modelling. My passion has been the study of hydraulics, hydrodynamics, and water quality of mountain and alluvial rivers and shallow water bodies and reservoirs in Colombia. In particular, since the year 2000, I have been studying and modelling the water quality of the Bogotá River and the urban rivers of the city of Bogotá, and also the Magdalena River and mountain rivers such as the Teusacá, Subachoque and Lenguazaque Rivers. I have supervised several Thesis and Final Research Projects addressing issues of monitoring, representing and modelling solute and reactive transport and biochemical transformation of solutes, conventional determinands and toxic substances in rivers. I have collaborated on the hydrodynamic and water quality modelling of complex systems such as "La Mojana, el Canal del Dique, and la Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta". These projects allowed me to understand widely water availability and pollution related problems in Colombia. Thus my main objective from the academic and research perspective has been to contribute to the design and implementation of actions and policies in favor of water sanitation and environmental sustainability, by the rigorous implementation of mathematical tools that help us to prioritize decision making.
