Camilo JARAMILLO CARDONA
Biography
Camilo graduated with a degree in Civil Engineering from EIA University in Colombia in 2011, completed his master’s degree in Coastal and Port Engineering in 2014, and earned his Ph.D. in Coastal Engineering from the University of Cantabria (UC) in 2020; his research earned him second prize in the 2021 Modesto Vigueras Award. From 2022 to 2024, he conducted postdoctoral research at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) and UC. He currently works as a researcher in the Coastal Engineering and Management Group at IHCantabria, where he has participated in more than 30 national and international projects since 2014.
His main areas of interest focus on coastal morphodynamics, coastal monitoring and management, and the analysis of the effects of climate change on coastal areas. His research has focused primarily on developing models of coastline evolution toward equilibrium, taking into account beach plan and profile, on medium- to long-term scales.
Camilo has participated in various initiatives, including contributing to the development of the Coastal Modeling System (SMC) for Brazil, overseeing the SMC e-learning course, and serving as a member of the organizing committee for a global network dedicated to modeling coastal evolution. In addition, since early 2024, he has spearheaded the CoastSnap citizen monitoring initiative at El Sardinero Beach in Santander, Spain.
In terms of teaching, Camilo has co-supervised several research projects, including master’s theses in the Coastal and Port Engineering programs at the UC, the Hydraulic Engineering program at TU Delft, and the Erasmus Mundus COASTHazar program. He is currently co-supervising a doctoral dissertation in the Doctoral Program in Coastal Engineering, Hydrobiology, and Aquatic Systems Management (IH2O) at UC and a Marie Curie Doctoral Network dissertation as part of the ArCHe project,“Archaeological Coastal Heritage: Past, Present, and Future of a Hidden Prehistoric Legacy.”
In terms of scientific dissemination, Camilo has been actively involved in publishing various articles in indexed journals, as well as presenting at conferences and reviewing manuscripts for SCI-indexed journals in the field of coastal engineering.
