Mauricio Carvallo
PhD Student
Mauricio joined IRES in 2020 as a PhD student co-supervised by Dr. Stephanie Chang and Dr. Navin Ramankutty. He obtained his bachelor’s degree in civil engineering at ITESO (Mexico) in 2012. Having lived in big cities all his life, he quickly became interested in sustainable urban development. He later went on to study a Master of Engineering at Polytechnique Montreal in 2014, focusing on sustainable stormwater management. Beyond the technical aspects of infrastructure, Mauricio is interested in a more holistic analysis by incorporating aspects such as social perception and acceptance, environmental impacts/benefits, and economic costs. After his graduate studies, he worked for 4 years as a municipal engineer in the Montreal area, developing long-term drainage master plans.
Mauricio’s doctoral research focuses on climate change adaptation, seeking to incorporate the trade-offs of different coastal adaptation strategies under uncertain sea level rise scenarios in the hopes of helping communities better prepare for the future. From 2020 to 2022, he worked on the Resilient-C project, an online platform seeking to connect coastal communities across Canada to exchange ideas on strategies for facing coastal hazards. He is currently collaborating with the City of Surrey as a Mitacs Accelerate Intern as part of his research, analysing the city’s adaptation plans for the Mud Bay region.
