Doctorate Engineering sciences
I hold a Doctorate in Water Resources from the Universidad Estatal de Cuenca, with a focus on innovative water management techniques and sustainable environmental practices. This degree has equipped me with advanced knowledge and research skills in hydrology, water resource management, and environmental engineering.
Additionally, I earned a Master's Degree in Hydraulic Engineering and Environmental Management with a Specialization in Water Treatment from the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia in Spain. This program provided me with specialized expertise in designing and implementing water treatment systems, emphasizing the integration of environmental sustainability in engineering practices.
I also hold a Master's Degree in Integral Water Management from the Universidad de Cádiz, Spain, where I focused on the comprehensive management of water resources, including policy development, resource conservation, and sustainable water use practices.
Finally, I obtained my undergraduate degree as an Environmental Engineer from the Universidad Nacional de Loja, Ecuador, where I developed a strong foundation in environmental sciences and engineering, particularly in the context of Latin American environmental challenges.
