EDUCATION
  • Ph.D., Soils (Soil Physics, minor in Agricultural Engineering), Washington State University, 1985.
  • M.S., Engineering (Agricultural), Washington State University, 1986
  • M.S., Soils (Soil Physics), Washington State University, 1983.
  • B.S. Agricultural Engineering, University of Chile, 1972.

TEACHING

Main interest is on teaching graduate and undergraduate courses in Soil and Water Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Cropping Systems Modeling, and Engineering Analysis. Have taught numerous international short courses on principles and applications of cropping systems modeling.

RESEARCH

  • Development and application of computer-based analytical tools (crop simulation models, watershed models, weather generators, geographical information systems, and risk analysis software) to study soil, weather, crop rotations and land management impact on agricultural production and the environment (erosion and chemical pollution) at the field and watershed levels.
  • Development and evaluation of operational methods to estimate crop water use (micrometeorological techniques, sap flow measurements, models).
  • Evaluation of the performance of real-time, on-farm irrigation scheduling methods.
  • Field and simulation studies of water and nitrogen management interactions.
