Dr. Ramos is professor of Geological Sciences at the University of Buenos Aires, and an independent investigator for CONICET. He leads the study of the Main Cordillera in the Highest Andes, to know the processes and mechanisms of uplift during Cenozoic times; the neotectonic structures, correlation with seismic intraplate activity, orogenic shortening, and seismic risk; potential relationships with mineralisation and hydrocarbon.

Ramos has also pursued a life-long interest in the geological observations made by Charles Darwin in the Cordillera. Ramos has examined the geological theories that Darwin suggested in his writings, and has confirmed that many of these observations were precisely correct, which is an extraordinary feat, considering the knowledge of the time. Ramos also leads the study of the basement of the Andes to dilucidate, the history of the protomargin of Gondwana, ancient ocean closures, and the accretion and amalgamation of the different basement terranes.
