Doctoral Council

»I would like to actively represent our interests as doctoral candidates and researchers both at the university and on other committees. In recent years, I have been working intensively on the topic of “BIM-based structural design” of engineering structures. With my scientific work, I would like to make a concrete contribution to the development of a BIM-based inspection procedure.«

»I am a Civil Engineer and I have a Master's Degree in Management Engineering. For many years I have worked for some universities in my country (Colombia). I have participated in research projects and published papers on issues related to the quality of urban life. Because of this, today I am here at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar developing my doctoral research at the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism.

May aims for the Doctoral Council:

As a Doctoral Candidate and a foreigner in Germany, I can understand many of the challenging situations that we have to face as young researchers. I want to be a voice of the doctoral candidates in front of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, to support the researchers and transmit our doubts, needs and new ideas to the institution. My purpose is to serve and help build an optimal environment for the success of doctoral candidates in the development of their research project. I have always shown great interest in serving my colleagues. My main motivation is to be a guide for other doctoral candidates during their journey through their research. Through a clear and open dialogue, be a spokesperson for the ideas that young researchers have to contribute to the University. I believe that together we can build a great support network and in this way guarantee the academic success of all.

Personally, this experience would mean a way to know how the decision-making groups of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar work, additionally to better understand the German work culture.«
