Pablo Medina

Pablo Medina holds a BSc in Physics (2010) and an MSc in Industrial Engineering (2012) from Universidad de los Andes, Colombia. He earned a PhD in Complex Systems Engineering from Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez, Chile (2017), and a PhD in Engineering from Universidad de los Andes (2016).

His academic trajectory includes several postdoctoral positions in Chile, first at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (2017), where he conducted research on neuromorphic computing, and later at Universidad de Chile, where he was awarded a Fondecyt Postdoctoral Fellowship (2018–2021) and led projects funded by the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR, 2021–2022). He has taught undergraduate and graduate courses at Universidad de Chile (2017–2022) and Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez (2022). Since 2022, he has served as a Postdoctoral Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Engineering, Universidad de los Andes.

His research focuses on complex systems, transport and mobility networks, and agent-based simulation, with applications to urban dynamics and public policy. At Universidad de los Andes, he has been actively involved in research groups such as Grupo SUR and EPIANDES, and has collaborated in interdisciplinary projects including On the Way to School, Manzanas del Cuidado in Bogotá, the design and implementation of the Ser Pilo Paga program, Ciclovía Recreativa Implementation and Advocacy Manual, and data analysis of the Colombian peace process. He has published extensively in high-impact international journals on complex systems dynamics, urban mobility, transport networks, and social segregation, and has contributed to large-scale international collaborations such as the SALURBAL project.
