Ingeniero Civil Hidráulico de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (2000), realiza estudios de magíster y doctorado en la Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Hydraulique et Mécanique de Grenoble (Francia) en el área de modelación numérica de escurrimientos superficiales y propagación de oleaje, trabajo que es realizado en el Laboratoire des Ecoulements Géophysiques et Industriels de Grenoble (LEGI). Desde el año 2006 se desempeña como académico de jornada completa en el Departamento de Ingeniería Hidráulica y Ambiental de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile donde realiza docencia e investigación en mecánica de fluidos, hidráulica e ingeniería de costas. Su trabajo de investigación se ha orientado hacia el estudio de escurrimientos a inercia dominante, la hidrodinámica litoral en aguas someras (oleaje, corrientes, morfodinámica de playas, etc.) apoyándose para ello en herramientas experimentales y numéricas de última generación. Ha sido Investigador Principal de un proyecto Fondecyt, y co-Investigador en otro; también participa en varios proyectos de colaboración con centros de investigación franceses a través del programa Ecos-Conicyt. Es autor de varias publicaciones en revistas internacionales con comité de lectura y congresos nacionales e internacionales.
