Biography

ivil engineer 2011, two masters in Civil engineering 2017 and 2019 focused in Geotechnics, with solid knowledge in field investigation and lab testing.

I have performed geotechnical field investigation in different countries and regions across South and North America. My experience in this field has been based on leading and accompanying geotechnical campaigns, in which among others I have performed field in-situ tests such as hydraulic fracturing in rocks, hydraulic conductivity of soils, and soil characterization using geophysical methods.
Most of my professional experience has been involved in construction material laboratory tests, coordinating and performing geotechnical and structural engineering tests. I have advised, accompanied, and worked for academic and industrial labs in South and North America. During these jobs, I have developed skills capable to optimize the use of lab devices, implementing unconventional engineering test using conventional devices, e.g., hydraulic conductivity and breakthrough pressure using soil triaxial device, unidimensional expansion of soils using consolidometer device, and triaxial tests, point load tests, unconfined compression measuring radial deformations using conventional load frames for rocks.

I have two master of science degrees in civil engineering focused on geotechnical engineering (2017) and (2019). In 2010, my masters research was part of an Environmental and Research Education Foundation (EREF) project focused on engineered water repellency for ash containment and reuse. For 2019, my masters research was part of a North Carolina Department of Transport (NCDOT) project in which the performance of drilled shaft foundations under coupled
