Ir. Gerald A. Corzo P.

Ph.D Research Fellow, Hydroinformatics

Gerald received his degree of civil engineering from the Escuela Colombian de Ingenieria, Faculty of Engineering, Bogotá , Colombia . After some contracting experience as chief of the planning department in Florencia (Cauca), he joined the Universidad Francisco de Paula Santander, as a lecturer in Mathematics and Statistics(2000). One of his main interests has been telecommunications and information technology. His background includes a specialisation degree in teleinformatics from the Universidad Distrital de Colombia. He has been guest lecturer in different educational institutions in Colombia .

In October 2003 he came to UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education, Delft, Netherlands to participate in the master's program in Hydroinformatics. He was awarded Master of Science in May 2005. His title of thesis was Rule-Based Committee of data-driven models in hydrological forecasting. In his thesis he showed a modular scheme approaching the incorporation of hydrological knowledge in a committee model. He is actually working in the improvement of the artificial intelligence methods applied to hydrological phenomena. These improvements tend to incorporate the domain knowledge to the data models. Mr. Gerald Corzo is a member of International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS).
