ABOUT ME
I studied Civil Engineering at Universidad del Norte in Barranquilla, Colombia. I obtained an M.Sc. from the same university and a Ph.D. at North Carolina State University. Since my graduation, I worked in academia, as an instructor professor at Uninorte, and in the industry as a consultant in transportation and pavement management.
​
Several specific questions interest me:
(1) What is the relationship between pavement condition and highway safety?
(2) How engineers, and transport planners, can embed flexibility in their designs?
(3) What are the expected short and long term impacts in pavement systems due to unforeseeable events?
