Carlos Castillo
Gully erosion researcher
Assistant lecturer at the University of Córdoba
FreeXSapp
A SfM-based interface created for the assessment of transversal gully geometry
Professional overview
I finished my Forest Engineering degree in 2002. I have worked both in the private sector (manager of a cooperative company, project design of renewable energies) and public institutions (engineer in the environmental department at the province administration).
My topic of research is gully erosion processes and rehabilitation strategies. I finished my PhD in 2012. During 3 years I worked as a postdoctoral research associate at the Institute of Sustainable Agriculture - CSIC. Since 2009, I work as an assistant lecturer in the Rural Engineering Department at the University of Córdoba.
