Hugo Luna Villavicencio

SNII Level: Candidate

He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from the Autonomous University of Zacatecas. He also holds a Master’s degree in Civil Engineering with a specialization in environmental engineering and a Ph.D. in Anthropogenic Sciences with an emphasis on Civil Engineering, both from the Autonomous University of Aguascalientes.

His research focuses on hydrogeological risks, particularly land subsidence processes and the formation of discontinuities associated with this phenomenon. His work integrates geospatial analysis techniques for evaluating surface deformation using Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR), supplemented by in situ geophysical exploration methods.

His academic interest focuses on understanding the mechanisms that cause ground deformation in anthropogenic contexts, as well as on developing methodologies for monitoring, modeling, and zoning subsidence risk, thereby contributing to land-use management and the mitigation of impacts on infrastructure and human settlements.
