Agronomist, university professor, and researcher at the Universidad Técnica Estatal de Quevedo, Ecuador. My research focuses on plant pathology, postharvest disease management, allelopathy, biological control, nanotechnology, and sustainable crop-production strategies. I am particularly interested in developing environmentally responsible alternatives for improving plant health, crop productivity, and food quality. My academic work also includes scientific writing, research methodology, and the training of undergraduate and graduate students. My professional mission is to generate applied knowledge that contributes to more resilient and sustainable agricultural systems.
