Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMauricio Zambrano-Bigiarini is an Associate Researcher and civil engineer with a PhD in Environmental Engineering and over 20 years of experience in water resources, specializing in development, implementation and assessment of hydrological models. Based in Temuco, Chile, he combines academic roles (associate professor) with applied research at the Center for Climate and Resilience Research, focusing on spatio-temporal drought monitoring, extreme-precipitation impacts and catchment responses. He brings deep expertise in global optimization and sensitivity analysis methods (PSO, DE, SCE-UA, SCEM, DREAM, Sobol, LH-OAT) and develops open-source R tools and packages to manage and analyze hydro-meteorological data. Known for bridging theory and practice, he leverages gridded datasets (P, ET, SM) at multiple scales to translate model diagnostics into actionable water-resource insights. A less obvious strength is his sustained track record across academic, governmental and European research institutions, enabling him to navigate both policy-relevant and methodological challenges.
