Profile

Francisco Suárez es Ing. Civil Hidráulico y Magíster en Ciencias de la Ingeniería de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (2006). Recibió el Ph.D. en Hidrogeología de University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) en 2010. Durante los años 2010 y 2012 realizó un Postdoctorado en el "Center for Transformative Environmental Monitoring Programs" (CTEMPs), en el Departamento de Geología de la UNR, donde se especializó en mediciones distribuidas de temperaturas para cuantificar los recursos hídricos en el medio ambiente. Entre los años 2012 y 2016 fue Profesor Asistente del Departamento de Ingeniería Hidráulica y Ambiental (DIHA) de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, y desde el año 2016 es Profesor Asociado del DIHA. Entre sus labores se destaca el desarrollo de docencia de pre y postgrado, y de variados proyectos de investigación en las siguientes temáticas interdisciplinarias: análisis del comportamiento de piscinas solares y su potencial para energizar destilación en membranas; estudios de evaporación desde suelos y lagos utilizando sistemas distribuidos de temperatura (DTS) y otros sistemas ópticos innovadores; investigación de las propiedades de sustratos de cubiertas vegetales y del transporte de calor en ellas a través de métodos DTS; cuantificación del gradiente geotermal usando métodos DTS; y desarrollo de modelos hidrológicos e hidrogeológicos para la gestión del recurso hídrico. El Dr. Suárez es investigador de los centros de excelencia CEDEUS (FONDAP/15110020) y CEGA (FONDAP/15090013), es investigador del Consorcio Técnológico del Agua CoTH2O (CORFO), es autor de varias publicaciones en revistas científicas internacionales, ha participado en diversos congresos nacionales e internacionales y desde el 2016 hasta el presente ha apoyado al Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores en temas de Recursos Hídricos compartidos. Desde mediados del 2022, se desempeña como Director de Pregrado de la Escuela de Ingeniería.
