I am currently a Ph.D. student in biological and environmental sciences. I have obtained an M.Sc. in Environmental Engineering, and my bachelor's is in biology. I am a Lecturer at Escuela de Ingeniería Ambiental [School of Environmental Engineering and Biology] (UPTC), teaching ecology, environmental biology, botany, management, and conservation, among other topics. I am a member of Grupo de Investigación Sistemática Biológica (SisBio) [Systematic Biological Research Group]. I am a botanist, UPTC Herbarium Curator, and a taxonomist with broad experience in geographic information systems. I have directed undergraduate and master's degree projects and have published national and international books and articles. Currently, my doctoral dissertation aims to infer the biogeographic relationships of the Andean forest through the distribution of woody Eudicots flora in the Neotropics. This research involves identifying species assemblages in altitudinal and latitudinal gradients, establishing the biogeographic affinities of the flora, and inferring areas of endemism of the woody Euditots flora of the Andean forest.
