ROLANDO SALGADO-ESTRADA received the B.S. degree in civil engineering from Universidad Veracruzana, in 1996, the M.S. degree in engineering from UNAM, in 1998, with a focus on structures, and the Ph.D. degree in civil engineering from the University of Minho, Portugal, in 2009, with a thesis dissertation titled “Damage Detection in Bridges Through its Dynamic Response: Evaluation and Application.” In 2009, he worked as a Structural Engineer for the consultant companies Viaponte and LCW in Lisbon, Portugal. From 2004 to 2007, he was a Collaborator of the European project “Sustainability of Bridges.” Since 2009, he is a full-time Professor at the Faculty of Engineering, Universidad Veracruzana, Campus Veracruz. Since 2011, he has been nationally accredited for his skills in research, tutorials, and teaching given by the Secretariat Public Education of Mexico. He has been a thesis supervisor of 37 undergraduate students, 11 master students and in process of 3 Ph.D. students. He has authored 28 articles in national and international conferences, 9 indexed articles, and 5 refereed articles. His research interests include seismic behavior of concrete structures, damage detection of structures, dynamic simulation of cracked structures, vibration problems in pedestrian bridges, wind analysis of structures and structural behavior of complaint towers. He is a member of the Mexican Society of Seismic Engineering (SMIS) and the National Researcher System (SNII level 1) given by the Secretary of Science, Humanities, Technology and Innovation of Mexico (SECIHTI), in the period of 2022-2026.
