Prof. Miguel Cabrera

Dr. Cabrera is an Assistant Professor of Experimental Soil Mechanics at the section of Geo-Engineering at TU Delft, working in the physical modelling of land instabilities and soil-structure interaction systems. His research is in the area of geotechnical engineering with a focus on complex, multiphase, geophysical and environmental flows, and soil-fluid-structure interaction systems. His interests lie in linking the fundamental understanding of such physical processes with the current and future challenges of the natural, living and built environment. Towards this end, he develops and use a combined approach between physical modelling, advanced measuring techniques, and numerical modelling. Miguel holds a Bachelor on Civil Engineering from Universidad Nacional de Colombia (2009) and a Master in Geotechnical Engineering from Universidad de los Andes, Colombia (2011). In 2016, Miguel received his PhD from the University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences, Austria, working on the simulation of granular flows in rotating systems sponsored by a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship through the MUMOLADE project. Between 2016 and 2022 Miguel was appointed as Assistant and then Associate Professor at Universidad de los Andes, Colombia.
