Dariana Isamel Avila Velasquez

She is a PhD student at the Institute of Water and Environmental Engineering (IIAMA) at the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV). Her research focuses on improving irrigation water management in Mediterranean basins by combining remote sensing, meteorological forecasting, and artificial intelligence. Her work is funded by the Spanish Ministry of Universities through predoctoral grants for the training of university teaching staff (FPU program).

Within the WATER4CAST 2.0 project, she is involved in weather management and forecasting, specifically short-term and seasonal forecasts post-processed using artificial intelligence methods. She has experience in the installation of micrometeorological stations, such as Eddy Covariance systems.

Adrià Rubio Martin

He is a researcher at the Institute of Water and Environmental Engineering (IIAMA), Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV). His research focuses on improving water resource management models by applying a holistic perspective that uses system dynamics to integrate economic, social, and environmental variables into a single modeling framework.

He has participated in European projects on the development of climate services (INNOVA), and is part of the coordination team in projects such as eGROUNDWATER, focused on citizen science and new data sources for improved groundwater management; GoNEXUS, on tools for integrated water-energy-food-ecosystems nexus management; The HuT , on adapting to extreme climate risks; Retouch NEXUS, and TRANSCEND (Horizon Europe).

Juan Manuel Carricondo

He is a researcher and agricultural engineer, with a Master’s degree in Agri-Food and Environmental Economics and a PhD in Water and Environmental Engineering from the Universitat Politècnica de València.

Ana Gabriela Fernández

She is a PhD student in the Transport Infrastructure and Territory program at the Universitat Politècnica de València. Her research is funded by the European project TheHut , which aims to predict Heat Waves, their spatial distribution, and intensity in relation to urban morphology, with the goal of developing early warning systems. Additionally, her work focuses on understanding how urban morphological features influence Urban Heat Islands, seeking more climate-resilient urban design.

Ana Gabriela has experience in conducting public transport passenger demand studies and optimizing solid waste collection routes. She also has knowledge in regulatory planning, analysis of protection zones, and water quality. She has conducted research on the impact of urban morphology on Urban Heat Islands in Valencia.

Juan Manzano Juárez

He is a Full Professor at the Department of Hydraulic and Environmental Engineering (Universitat Politècnica de València); researcher in the Irrigation Technologies area at the Valencian Centre for Irrigation Studies (CVER).

David de León

He is a Civil Engineer from the Universidad del Magdalena (Colombia). He holds a Master’s degree in Hydrological Systems from Pontificia Universidad Javeriana (Colombia), and a Specialist degree in Applied Statistics from Universidad del Atlántico (Colombia). He also completed a diploma in Dam Engineering at the University of Buenos Aires (Argentina).

His professional experience has focused on the fields of hydroclimatology, hydrology, and urban hydraulics. He has worked on major projects related to water supply networks, sewer systems, water resources, and water availability assessment in Colombia. He also has international experience conducting hydraulic analysis and modeling for the Greater Buenos Aires water supply system (Argentina), the sewer system of Zárate city (Argentina), the drainage system of the Third Panama Canal (Panama), and the master plan for the water supply system of Santa Cruz de la Sierra (Bolivia).

He has served as a university lecturer in undergraduate and postgraduate courses on hydrology, water supply systems, sewerage systems, and watershed planning. His publications include articles on hydroclimatically homogeneous regions, impacts of recurrent events and their causes in Colombia, effects of climate change in the department of Huila (Colombia), and toxicity assessment of magnetic nanoparticles in Caenorhabditis elegans.

He is currently a PhD student in Water and Environmental Engineering at the Universitat Politècnica de València (Spain), working on his dissertation focused on the analysis and reduction of uncertainty in seasonal forecasts.
