After working for several years in Spain, Chile and Mexico, and getting a Certificate on Sustainable Architecture and the accreditation as LEED AP; in 2011 started the PhD program in Bioresource Engineering at McGill University, Canada. Her research work focuses on biomimetics, ecological engineering and regenerative architecture and she is under the supervision of Prof.Grant Clark (Bioresource Engineering), Prof.Susan Gaskin (Civil Engineering) and Prof.Aaron Sprecher (School of Architecture). Mercedes is assesing ecosystem patterns and developing conceptual and quantitative architectural models using ecological engineering tools. Her research will provide the scientific basis for biomimetic and regenerative architecture design. Less
