I hold a degree in Biochemistry and a specialty in Biotechnology from the Technological Institute of Mérida, Yucatán. I earned my PhD in Water and En vironmental Engineering with a focus on Water Che mistry and Microbiology from the Polytechnic Uni versity of Valencia, Spain. I completed postdoctoral studies in Ecogenomics focused on Bioprospecting in the Coastal Environment for the Search for Microor ganisms with Hydrocarbon-Degrading Potential at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, Yucatán Science Park. I also hold a Diploma in Geomatics Applied to the Environment from the Mario Gulich Institute of Advanced Space Studies (IG), affiliated with the National University of Córdoba (UNC) and the National Commission for Space Activities (CONAE). Currently, I am a Researcher at Mexico of Secretary of Science, Humanities, Technology and Innovation (Secihti)-Autonomous University of Yucatán. My research focuses on Microbiology and Environmental Chemistry, studying microbiota and its interactions with anthropogenic and natural environments, and developing strategies to minimize negative environ mental impacts in food production systems. My re search and collaborations center on priority topics such as: Water, Food Sovereignty (from soil studies to food quality), Health (with a One Health ap proach), Energy, and Climate Change.
