Overview
Personal profile
John Alexander Chavarro Díaz is an Agricultural Engineer and holds an M.Sc. in Hydrosystems. He is currently a Ph.D. candidate in Engineering at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana (Bogotá). He has over 20 years of experience designing and coordinating Integrated Water Resources Management projects across public agencies, the private sector, and international cooperation. His work focuses on -mathematical modelling- of complex environmental processes (hydrology and hydraulics, land-use change, catchment geomorphology, water quality, and irrigation/drainage systems), combining complex-systems analysis with scientific programming (Python, R, GAMS) and GIS (ArcGIS, QGIS, GRASS). His doctoral research examines atmospheric feedback effects on agricultural production at global scale and in Colombia, coupling hydroclimatic signals, water-stress constraints, and GHG dynamics into partial-equilibrium models such as GLOBIOM to strengthen scenario-based environmental planning and policy design.
