I hold a degree in Agricultural Engineering from the National University of Colombia. After completing my undergraduate studies, I entered environmental research with the Alliance Bioversity & CIAT in Cali, Colombia. My six-month internship led to a seven-year tenure as a research engineer. I contributed to deforestation monitoring in the Colombian and Peruvian Amazon using remote sensing and GIS techniques. I also worked on initiatives to restore agricultural landscapes and enhance connectivity of fragmented primary forests. In parallel, I completed a 2-year Master's degree in Geographic Information Systems at San Francisco University in Quito, Ecuador, followed by an additional year at the University of Salzburg, earning a dual Master of Science degree in Geography and GIS. In 2021, I received a doctoral scholarship from the Colombian government and moved to Marseille, France, to pursue a Ph.D. in Ecology at Aix-Marseille University, under the IMBE joint research unit.
SCALED-ERC project: Aims to unravel the effects of habitat fragmentation on biodiversity by combining modeling and empirical approaches at various spatial scales and for multiple organisms. Within this project, my doctoral research focused on microarthropod responses to fragmentation. (PI: Cécile Albert)
