Associate researcher at the Higher Polytechnic School of Agriculture of Manabí - Manuel Félix López (ESPAM MFL). I work as a researcher on soil organic carbon sequestration under different land cover types, slopes, land uses, soil types, environmental factors, and planting combinations. I had held the position of Master's program coordinator and also became the General Research Coordinator at ESPAM MFL. I had collaborated on research projects in Latin America, generally focused on soils, and I directed research projects on the impact of land use on the concentration and accumulation of soil organic carbon, and Smart land Project. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Agricultural University of Krakow (Poland), with a research project focused on the study of a parasitic plant and its impact on the degradation of Polish forests. It also collaborates with the national and international relations department at ESPAM MFL to coordinate research projects between universities in Europe for joint work through agreements. Currently, in conjunction with three universities (ESPAM-JUK-URK), a research project on tropical forests in the Galapagos Islands and the effects of land use, invasive plants, and climate change on the degradation of vulnerable and fragile ecosystems. It will begin in 2026 and run until 2028.
