During her MSc studies in Colombia Liliana worked as assistant lecturer at her university whilst continuing her research on arid zones and tele-connections with ENSO. In 2006 she was awarded an Erasmus Mundus Scholarship to come to Europe to pursue a MSc in Hydro-Informatics and Water Management. After graduation Liliana worked for four years at an international consultancy as flood management consultant focusing mainly on hydraulic modeling. In early 2012 Liliana worked at the University of Birmingham as research associate on a NERC funded project with Stefan Krause on Smart tracers and novel sensor networks in which she acquired detailed knowledge on Fiber-Optic Distributed Temperature Sensor networks and reactive tracer applications at microcosm’s level. Liliana joined Birmingham as a doctoral researcher in September 2012. Liliana strives to balance her PhD studies and family life with her two sons and husband.
