Jorge D. Abad (Curriculum Vitae)

Currently, I am a postdoctoral research associate at the Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Research collaboratorations include Prof. Marcelo H. García, Prof. Gary Parker, Prof. Gustavo Buscaglia, Prof. Bruce Rhoads, Prof. Jim Best, Dr. Eddy Langendoen. Besides my academic life, I like to watch Figure Skating, I tried to practice, but unfortunately, it is too complicated. In PERU, I used to dance Peruvian folk dances and to teach "HUAYLARSH" at FOLKUNI, UNI.

From rural to urban
From field to laboratory scales
From experiments to simulations

News: Meanders group website is comming soon
Research interests: Understand earth processes linked to water. Combine various methodologies (e.g. analytical, numerical and experimental) and various fields (e.g. engineering, geography, geology) to get insights on the interaction of sediments and water. Transfer scientific knowledge into community language.
