A chilean engineer working for safe infrastructure
I am a structural engineer (BSc) and researcher with a master's degree in structural engineering (MSc) and currently based in Santiago, Chile where I lead a civil engineers team from the general management of NFA INGENIERIA Ltda. which is a structural and pavements engineering firm with a strong focus on research and disaster risk reduction related to each of its projects mainly in the industrial and mining sector.
If you want to talk about infrastructure with a humanitarian focus and develop research about that, we should connect!
