Alejandra Vega, Resercher Center for Sustainable Urban Development (CEDEUS), Ponfificia Universidad Católica de Chile, asvega@uc.cl
I am Civil Industrial Engineer, mention in hydraulics, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Master and PhD in Engineering Sciences from the same university. I have been dedicated to research on issues related to water quality and its evaluation and control/treatment, focusing on contaminants such as metals and arsenic. As well as environmental geochemistry, studying the presence of metals in the soils of mining cities and their impact on health. My research is focused on water and soil quality. I am actively seeking collaboration opportunities.
