Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJaime Gaona is a research fellow at CNR‑IRPI with a decade of experience applying geosciences to water science, specializing in hydrogeomorphology and river–groundwater interactions. He holds a PhD in River Science and has led field and modeling studies across Europe, from hyporheic flow estimation using thermal tracers to basin-scale water accounting projects. Jaime has blended academic and applied roles—postdoctoral positions in Spain and Germany, teaching hydraulics in Barcelona, and work with environmental accounting initiatives—demonstrating strength in translating detailed measurements into management-relevant insights. He combines expertise in distributed thermal techniques (FO‑DTS, TIR) with systems-level water balance analysis, enabling upscaling from local processes to reach and basin scales. Based in Umbria, Italy, he brings multilingual and cross-cultural experience (including Mandarin studies) and a background in classical guitar, reflecting a curious, interdisciplinary mind that connects technical rigor with creative perspectives.
