In 2005 I obtained a doctorate at the 'Université Paris XIII-Paris', and subsequently, I performed a Postdoc for two years at the 'Instituto de Ecología A.C' (INECOL, Mexico). The research performed in our lab aims to understand how multitrophic interactions among herbivores and natural enemies take place, the factors and the mechanisms underlying those interactions, using four perspectives: ecological, behavioral, evolutionary, and applied (biological control).
