Veterinarian (2017) with a PhD cum laude in Veterinary Sciences (2024), specialized in assisted reproductive technologies in small ruminants. My research focuses on improving artificial insemination and in vitro embryo production in sheep through advances in semen preservation, sperm quality assessment, and fertility prediction tools. I have contributed to several regional and national projects aimed at developing germplasm banks, optimizing cryopreservation protocols, and applying proteomic and metabolomic approaches to understand sperm function. My work has resulted in 17 peer-reviewed articles, most of which have been published in Q1 journals, and over 30 international conference communications. I collaborate with colleagues worldwide and currently have an h-index of 7. Beyond research, I am passionate about knowledge transfer and teaching. I have taught courses in reproduction, biotechnology, and animal production, supervised undergraduate theses, and participated in public science outreach. I also serve as a reviewer for leading journals, including Theriogenology, Reproduction in Domestic Animals, and Animals. My goal is to contribute to sustainable livestock systems by developing innovative reproductive strategies that enhance fertility outcomes, promote genetic progress, and improve animal welfare in sheep production.
