ABOUT ME
Where water meets
data and discovery.
I study the movement of solutes, nutrients, and metals through rivers, and how disturbances such as wildfires and wastewater inputs shape water quality. My work brings together field campaigns, open datasets, and predictive models.
At the University of New Mexico’s Center for Water and the Environment, I contribute to research on river transport and the ecological sustainability of arid rivers. My background in geological engineering in Colombia and civil engineering in New Mexico informs the way I approach these systems.
